cockney steve - where on earth do I start with that? Thank you for your scathing summary of my both my morals and ethics but like I said, goodwill and philanthropy will never operate a HEMS service in todays world. But goodwill and self sacrifice was EXACTLY how this charity was started. What on earth is a 'Community Service'? Does it have to be something free or something that serves the community? There is nothing fraudulent about GNAAS! It is a charity that raises money to provide the people of the North with a advanced medical repsonse using helicopters.

The alturistic Joe Public have a choice, mate. If they support something they believe in it certainly is not your place to patronisingly suggest they have been exploited! One hears about the plight of the worlds children regularly and

The CEO of GNAAS is a full time post and I am defending somebody who had to take great personal risk to start a charity because it was something they believed in - not to get rich. There is most definitely scope for charitable management to expoit generosity but you can't tar all CEOs with that and that is my problem with all of the people who seem intent on pulling this CEO to bits - they really have no idea of the truth.

How can you possibly comment on anyone's level of dedication or what they do? You simply don' know how dedicated the CEO is - and I'm afraid that to achieve what he has achieved has taken an incredible level of dedication.
