92 million pounds is a phenomenal amount of money,where is it going - why does NAS think that having posh offices, meetings, speeches, award ceremonies, campaigns, research, 26 executives etc ect are of any benefit to those with ASD ? They are of no benefit at all and the only reason they do this is because they are all good 'cover' for lining their own pockets.
Here's what could be done with 92 million pounds.
That amount of money could buy a huge autism centre in 50 towns and cities around the UK and staff them with 10 full time staff - more than enough people to have daily courses, events, help, day centre etc...
Lets exagerrate beyond all proportions and say 50 million was spent on 50 centres, then each centre had 10 full time staff at £20,000 each (200,000 x 50 = 10 million) - now another 200,000 on each centre for supplies/decorating, furniture and office equipment,computers - this still only comes to 80 million and gives each centre 4,000 per week running costs.
Property 50m
Staff 10x50x20 = 10m
Supplies/decorating/equipment/furniture = 50 x 200,000 = 10m
Bills = 50 x 200,000 = 10m
Remember this is a gross exaggeration, and also the next year there won't be these costs because the property is all paid for.
Every single person in the UK with an ASD will be a short distance away from help, facilities, being lonely etc...
Just a thought to wake people up as to exactly how much money NAS is squandering. The 2.1 million per year on executives alone is a disgrace and those taking those positions are utterly shameless.
Its a simple equation to me - if those at the top are seen to be taking this money with no shame then what else are they up to ?
