SCUFF provides funding for tattoos to cover self-harm scars for those who cannot afford it, training in self-harm crisis management for those caring for people who are self-harming and we will be offering peer support for people struggling with self-harm
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
