GET SET YETI AND THE PROMISE
Get Set Yeti are working in partnership with Carolina House Trust Foster Care to develop practical tools to ensure impact in their commitment to fulfil THE PROMISE. This is being achieved by providing digital and hands-on resources to further GROWTH MINDSET development for their young people, foster carers and staff; embedding resilience and increasing confidence in their daily lives.
In attending The Promise conference 'Stories of Change' we were made aware of the scale of work necessary to meet Government commitment, and just how much we had to offer in partnership, to support the sectors and organisations striving to achieve this.
