ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
In 2024 all of our events were 'in-person' with options for online attendance enabling people to benefit who have
previously been challenged by distance of travel.
In April 2024 our 3-day leaders conference attracted 467 delegates from the UK & overseas. Through keynote and
o-lab sessions we focused on equipping leaders, teams and churches to increase their impact in the communities they
operate within, and we provided specifi¢ input for emerging and younger leaders.
The Monthly Leaders Days have conlinued with national speakers representing significant churcheslchurch networks or
relaled-third seGtor-organisations. The accumu13tive-total attendan￿ at Ihese days numbered 842.
Our quarterly Leaders National Forums days are well attended by key leaders and emerging leaders within the Ground
Level network. The focus of these gatherings has been to equip our churches based on key needs identified among the
Churthes. An additional venue for these events has been launched in Cambridge lo provide better accessibility for our
developing East Anglia Region.
Ground Level's focus on training and equipping senior church leaders, and leadership teams, allows them to better
serve the people within their church Constituency and their local community. In addition to our regular leadership training
and equipping days we had an eighth intake to our 'Leadership Engine, programme,. a bespoke leadership training
course. A second year of training is also available for those who have completed year one. In total 48 students are
engaged in the currenl programm6.
Our wellbeing 'Leader Care, provision enables churches lo tap into a range of courses designed to equip leadership
teams in understanding more about the intersection of sound theology and research based therapy. In addilion, church
leaders are able access counselling lo support them and resolve emotional, psychological and relationship issues.
The Ground Level 'Theology Forum, continued: where experienced leaders gather to discuss theological topics, their
findings are then released for the benefit of the Ne￿Ork in the form of written publications, seminars and training
opportunities.
A series of successful 'Long Lunch, evenls have been undertaken aimed at., connecting with leaders who are often
restricted by geography from joining our regular leader events in-person, and also engaging with churches & leaders""
who are considering joining the nelM)rk.
The churches and leaders wrthin the ne￿Ork continue to be linked together via regional & relational 'Conneclions'. Also,
we continue to develop Team Leader Cohorts to bring together leaders from different aspects of church life, (Worship
Leaders, Youth Ministry Leaders, Kids Ministry Leaders, Administration. Communityl Social Action Leaders), for
collaboration, sharing ideas and cheering each other on.
Two years ago we launched our online portal providing leadership, church management, and ministry resources and
over the last twelve months we have continued to develop resource partnerships with key organisations including..
Stewardship - helping our churches activate generosity, resource their calling and make a difference
Thirtyone-Eight - equipping our churches with the knovAedge and skills to create safer environments for children and
adults at risk

2024. This event was for all ages and incorporated 'Youth Revival, catering for 11-18 year-olds. The event attracted a
total of 4357 delegates representing 254 churches. Keynote speakers from the UK and overseas participated, and a
wide variety of seminar topics were available for delegates to choose from focusing on the slralegic objectives of the

provision for contractual obligations for the organisalion's larger events. Target reserve levels for 2025 are £182,550.

FUTURE PLANS

Team Leader Cohorts will continue to be developed and expanded.
The ne￿Ork will conlinue to expand its series of care and development mechanisms lo support the wellbeing of Church
leaders giving them aC￿$S to counselling and coaching through relationships with trusted partners.
In addition to the newly created East Anglia Region we envisage further Regions being developed across the UK. These
new Regions will provide a greater sense of ownership and accessibility for the ne￿ork churches within specific
geographic bourtrdaries.
The annual 'Awaken' gathering of the network churches, on the Lincolnshire showground will continue to be developed
for August 2025.
Ground Level has several strong overseas connections including the 'One Focus, nelwotl( in the USA, the 02 Ne￿Ork
also in the USA, the 'Chrtstian Ne￿ork, in South Africa and two churches in Spain. Ground Level wll continue
developing these connections.
Work will continue in partnership with some significant UK organisations under the umbrella of 'Partners for Influence,
(PFI). These links give added value and mutual development as the organisations share the same goals but WO￿ these
out in different contexts. The UK PFI constituency would represent a large number of Churches within the nation and
Ground Level sees its role as facilitating the gathering of this strategic body.
