How much profit do they, sorry, she, sorry the PR Company take,
sorry, make, sorry earn, from the Charitable donations collected ?
According to the programme and CEO, at least enough to hire Anton du Beke and Erin Boag to give the staff moral boosting dance lessons

BBC News - Air Ambulance Service's fundraising and spending criticised

She (Barbara Parish, a former fundraiser manager for TAAS) also said Strictly Come Dancing stars Anton Du Beke and Erin Boag were invited to give dance lessons at a staff away day, which she claims cost the charity thousands of pounds.

Ms Parish also said some staff were paid performance-related bonuses and she regretted accepting her £3,500 bonus.

Andy Williamson, chief executive of TAAS who is paid between £110,000 and £119,000 according to the charity's latest accounts, said its new name was "a good reflection of what we are actually doing".

Of hiring Strictly Come Dancing celebrities he said: "Everything's about patients because however many staff we have we need to keep them motivated, we need to keep them focussed on delivering their particular role. That ensures that we deliver that patient care."
Isn't saving the life of a child motivation & focus enough?
