OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The principal purposes of the Kinetic Network are general charitable purposes, education, the relief of poverty and religious activities. The Network also carries out such and other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world that, in the opinion of the Trustees, shall further the work of the Network and be beneficial to those members of the public who engage in its activities or services.
The Kinetic Network is a relational network of leaders and churches committed to the transformation of individuals, churches, society and nations, through the Spirit and the Word.
The Network's activities include, but are not restricted to: training people for Christian service through its ‘Next Generation Impartation’ initiative, the holding of annual or occasional conferences, presently the annual Life in the Spirit Christian Leaders Conference, and the occasional or annual LITS Senior Pastors gatherings, support to and involvement in other Christian leaders conferences, the provision of Christian education and support services to Churches and Pastors, the forming of regular groups to provide pastoral support and encouragement to Christian leaders, the making of grants to individuals and churches to enable access to Christian education and training in Christian ministry, usually being provided by the Network. These activities are undertaken in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, but individuals may access these provisions from other countries, providing any necessary processes to obtain visas and permission to work are completed.
Public benefit
In planning the activities of the Network, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
During the reporting period the Network has had to face, as have all charities, the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Initial comments on the impact of this on activities were made in the previous Annual Report.

Charity No: 117593 Kinetic Network
During the year now being reported most activities were conducted online, including ‘Central Weeks’ and all other activities in the third year of the 'Next Generation Impartation’ (NGI) initiative. Despite the restrictions, five people completed their time on the course in the summer of 2020, three people are moving toward completion of their second year in the summer of 2021, and two others are working toward the completion of a first or single year. The locations of the students in this year were Sheffield, Tamworth, Tadworth, Swindon and New Milton. The NGI Team continues to work through the recruitment challenges posed by the pandemic. During this reporting year the team took a new initiative named ‘NGI plus,’ a monthly Sunday evening online session providing additional contact time with trainees, and a ‘window into NGI for others who are interested in the course. We will comment further on this in the next reporting year.
The Annual ‘Life in the Spirit’ Conference was delayed until May, giving an opportunity for participants to gather in numbers up to thirty across ten locations, for a shorter, 2 day conference at much reduced cost. All locations were linked live, and speakers and worship leaders were in a number of the locations. The ‘Life in the Spirit’ team continues to work on the shape of future conferences.
In a similar way, the KN Team will continue to explore the best way to bring together Senior Pastors, whether online, as has been the case throughout the reporting year, or in person.
The Covid-19 pandemic severely restricted all face to face contact through most of the reporting year. Despite this, trustees and team members have continued to provide support, encouragement and teaching to numerous churches, either those in which they are themselves located, or to other churches, leaders, and potential Trainees, by request.
During the year the Trustees were delighted to be able to appoint a part-time member of staff, Clare Rudland, as Marketing and Events Coordinator.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, as a Charitably Incorporated Organisation.
Organisational structure
The Trustees and others form a team of volunteers who organise the activities of the Network, increasingly through sub-team working. A small Advisory Group of former trustees has been established, to provide additional support and advice to the Network and its Trustees. The Network employs two people in part time positions. The Rev Dr Will Loescher is employed for activities related to the ‘Next Generation Impartation’ Initiative. Mrs Clare Rudland is employed as Marketing and Events Coordinator. Teams have been developed to extend the work through LITS Conferences, NGI, and Networking. It is also expected that further work will be done to extend the networking opportunities for those who attend the Network’s conferences, and others who are interested. The Trustees enjoy the confidence of particular donors in this extension work.
