What does the community mean to you?

 
Hi all,
 
You're probably aware that our online community is funded by charitable donations. To raise money for our services, such as our online community, it's helpful to let people know the difference a service can make. 
 
If you've got a few minutes, it'd be really helpful if you could let us know what our community means to you. We'll be using the responses here as part of future fundraising appeals, but it'll be anonymous. If you do comment here, I'll take it that you're happy for us to use your responses. Alternatively you can let us know by email  - mystory@nas.org.uk
 
 
Some news
-We're evaluating private messaging at the moment to see if it's feasible. I'm very much up for having this functionality, but there's a few hurdles. 
-We're in the process of training new moderators, which should help with the spam/research posts.

  • I recently joined the forum because the NAS was the most obvious site. I had a growing need to connect to people that understood the same issues I do. I wanted to help others and myself by sharing thoughts. I am happy when people join in and exchange their ideas and experiences and I look forward to replies. It feels like I belong.

    I am also educated by people that write about difficulties and experiences that I have not known myself. Their is something safe about not having to talk face to face and it's wonderful when people you don't know choose to engage positivly to be with you for a few moments of their time.

    I think I would enjoy a private messaging service.
