“Making sure the nation has role models to inspire the next generation and the next and the next…”

The ultimate purpose of the Winning Scots programme is to develop more role models who can inspire, encourage, motivate and educate other young Scots. To achieve this, the Foundation has already created three programmes already.

Champions in Schools - This programme brings children face to face with successful athletes in a series of school workshops designed to inspire and motivate them to take part in sport. The programme increases participation in sport with the aim of contributing to Scotland becoming a healthier nation.

Winning Mentors - The Winning Mentors programme teams a pool of emerging talented Scottish athletes with their own proven winner who will act as a mentor. The first-hand advice to young athletes proves invaluable and hastens their path to success and to their becoming a role model for the next generation.

Winning Talent - Whilst the aim of the Foundation is not focused on creating elite athletes, it would be foolish to ignore their potential as ambassadors for our cause. So this innovative programme aims to encourage and support Scotland’s most promising emerging talent and help them achieve success on the world stage.

***Winning Scotland Foundation is currently not accepting funding applications until further notice - this is due to reconsideration of the application process.  Further information will be posted here in due course.***
