Objectives and activities (continued)
c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
We effect change by partnering, influencing and innovating. We robustly evaluate our activity and ensure that our work is evidence led.
This year, our activities included: Applied Growth Mindset: a Masters-level accredited programme of learning for primary and secondary school teachers focussing on building confidence, resilience and a positive attitude to the learning process among pupils. Limitless Learning: a shorter ‘gateway’ introduction to growth mindset for primary and secondary school teachers, often with a particular focus such as STEM or literacy. Mindset in Social Care: an evolution of Applied Growth Mindset and Limitless Learning co-created with a panel of experts from within the social care sector to enable residential care workers and social workers to support their young people to develop growth mindset strategies. Mindset in Care (Education): a pilot programme focused on the ‘Supportive School Structure’ challenge area of The Promise. The programme looks to upskill the ‘trusted adults’ identified by care experienced young people, to improve their school and education experience. Early Years Physical Activity: a research report examining current provision for the physical development of children in Scotland’s early years sector. It identified a need to give more priority to the physical development of children in early years settings. Mindset in Youth Employability: a professional learning approach that aims to equip youth employability workers with the skills and strategies to better support themselves and the young people they work with. Maths Attitudes Survey: Undertaking, contextualising and publishing primary research on how children in Scotland feel about maths, and the proven ways to make this more positive. We presented the report at conferences, to Directors of Education in Scotland, Scottish Government and in publications. Planet Youth: a community wide investment in upstream primary prevention which can result in a reduction in the number of teenagers drinking, taking drugs, smoking and vaping which we are trialling in Scotland in six local areas. On Our Marks: The final year of On Our Marks, a community-based programme to improve physical activity and physical education. Piloted in north Glasgow and Perth, this programme was effective in schools but struggled to meet outcomes in the community. Innovation: We tested a number of novel approaches including developing an online resource for parents keen to learn more about developing growth mindset approaches with their children, co-creating peer to peer learning modules for S5/6s to deliver to young pupils, and developing a Measurement, Evaluation and Learning Framework to help us in our continuous improvement.
Influencing: As part of our mission to create culture change in Scotland we brought people together to collaborate, learn, innovate and share throughout the year. This includes our programme alumni (Mindset Ambassadors), working lunches for senior education leaders, care professionals, businesses leaders and philanthropists, and meetings with local and national politicians. We also featured on podcasts, in publications and gave keynote speeches in fulfilment of our mission.

Achievements and performance
a. Main achievements of the charity
2023-2024 saw renewed focus on the impact of our work, and a clearer articulation on the benefits of our model to support the adults who are most influential on young people, in order to improve outcomes. Research from Harvard University as well as robust evaluation of our programmes demonstrate the difference this can make. We sought to consolidate the mindset work in different spheres and created a real step change in Planet Youth.
Mindset in Education and its impact
The mindset programmes delivered during 2023-24, spanned primary and secondary settings, and over 260 learners across Scotland.
The majority of our learners are fully engaged with our programmes and provide positive feedback about the impact on themselves, their pedagogy and their pupils. Highlights include:
∙73% of learners felt that the content of our programmes was relevant to the needs of their pupils
∙over two-thirds of learners believed that the programmes would make them a better teacher
∙7 out of 10 learners completing our Applied Growth Mindset programme felt that their project was impactful on their class environment
This is all set against a challenging backdrop in the sector, with teachers reporting higher levels of stress, increased workload and a lack of resources. As a result, Winning Scotland has sought to make improvements to its programmes and the support provided to learners, to ensure maximum impact for the young people in our classrooms.
Over the years, our learners have tried and tested growth mindset strategies in their classrooms and settings. We have amassed their resultant reflections and project evaluations in our Mindset Library. This now also offers other teaching professionals a chance to take inspiration from over 100 case studies from across the country.
Network of Mindset Ambassadors
Mindset Ambassadors are teachers who have completed our learning programmes. They actively share their experiences, test new ideas, and stay updated on mindset theory and ongoing practice within their professional environments. With over 800 Ambassadors, their continuing journeys develop and inspire cultural change within schools and local authorities across the country. Speakers including Dr Jo Boaler, James Nottingham, and Sarah Philp have engaged with Ambassadors in live online events to further empower their growth mindset practice. Regular communications also provide Ambassadors with practical strategies, additional learning, and influence from other teaching professionals. This year we were also able to include Ambassadors from our other programmes to join this network of teachers, something that we will continue to do as we roll out Mindset to other adults with an important influence on the lives of young people.
Planet Youth in Scotland
In December 2022 the Scottish Government indicated they would be investing in Planet Youth in Scotland, via Winning Scotland, as part of their response to the Drugs Death Task Force. The grant letter was received in May 2023. Achievements this year include hosting a National Learning Event, developing an interim evaluation, convening a group of senior leaders from across different sectors to consider their role in embedding prevention, supporting local Planet Youth conferences in Dundee and Highland, engaging new areas wishing to join, recruitment and induction of local staff to drive action, successful completion of the second round of data collection in 24 schools, and tangible changes visible in local and national landscapes.
Mindset Expansion
Based on the learning from and impact of the Mindset in Education work, the charity has gradually been expanding the mindset offering to adults working with children beyond primary and secondary schools, beginning with Early Years Practitioners then moving to Social Workers and Employability Advisors. These programmes are all built around the core Mindset work that has been independently evaluated, but refaced and recontextualised for the relevant sectors, with subject matter experts.
While there are challenges for these workforces, particularly around budget and capacity to participate in training, there are some promising results in terms of impact:
∙92% of people who completed the post survey for the Mindset in Early Years pilot ‘feel the course will make them a better practitioner’, and 91% are ‘likely to recommend the course to a colleague’.

WINNING SCOTLAND
Achievements and performance (continued)
∙91.5% of participants on the Mindset in Social Care pilot programme saw the relevance of growth mindset to their work, with 71% of respondents on the post survey attributing improvements in their practice directly to the programme.
∙96% of people who completed the post survey for the Mindset in Youth Employability pilot programme feel it has improved their ability to support the young people they work with, and 89% feel taking part in this course has helped them and their colleagues to begin to create a growth mindset culture at work.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WINNING SCOTLAND
We have audited the financial statements of Winning Scotland (the 'charity') for the year ended
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Management board's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Management board with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WINNING SCOTLAND (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The Management board are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Management board's report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.
∙the Management board's report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Management board's report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
∙adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
∙the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
∙certain disclosures of Management board's remuneration specified by law are not made; or
∙we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
∙the Management board were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the Management board's report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic report.
As explained more fully in the Management board's responsibilities statement, the Management board (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Management board determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WINNING SCOTLAND (CONTINUED)
We have been appointed as auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud or non-complaince with laws and regulations is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error. We focused on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustees Investment Act (Scotland) 2005 and UK tax legislation. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and enquiries with management. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the board or management that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
Winning Scotland is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated in Scotland with registration number SC283771. The address of the registered office is Nexus Business Space, 21 Young St, Edinburgh, EH2 4HU.
The accounts are presented in pounds sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company, rounded to the nearest £.
2.Accounting policies
Having considered the information available to them, the management board believes there are no material uncertainties over the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Income from charitable activities is recognised based on the completion of the contract, which is measured by the stage of completion of the course delivery following agreed milestones.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
Tangible fixed assets costing £1000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
