British Olympic Association

BOA

The aim of the British Olympic Association (BOA) is to develop and protect the Olympic movement in Great Britain in accordance with the Olympic Charter. It was formed at a meeting at the House of Commons on 24 May 1905. The Association included representatives of the following sports: fencing, life-saving, cycling, skating, rowing, athletics, rugby, football, and archery. All of these sports had governing bodies or clubs at the time. Great Britain is one of only five countries, which has never failed to be represented at the Olympic Games since 1896: Australia, France, Greece, and Switzerland being the others. Of these, only France, Great Britain, and Switzerland have also been present at all Olympic Winter Games. The BOA has assisted in hosting two Olympic Games, in 1908 and 1948, on both occasions in London.

The Winning Scotland Foundation

Winning Scotland Foundation is an independent business-led charity which is working to create a positive winning attitude throughout Scotland.

It is proven that winning at anything can be learnt and that you can get into the habit of being a winner. The Foundation believes that sport is the best training ground to give young people skills which are applicable across their whole lives. Our programmes successfully use sport to help young people learn how to win and how to maximise their full potential. The Foundation, through collaboration with business, education and sport, sets young people on a path to self-fulfilment, and helps them believe that what's important is not how good they are now but how good they want to become.
