In February, we broke an attendance record. The Kingdom had over half a thousand visits. 565 to be more precise. There were so many new people that it was difficult to count them. They turned up at almost every event. Undoubtedly a great deal of the credit for this goes to our Facebook campaign, which is made possible with the support of Value Plan.
Our current budget can be seen below.

COSTS
Below is a table of costs. The main cost is space rental. This makes “powered by Hive” events free and accessible to everyone. February also included on-screen advertising. HBDs covering these costs have been placed in the Development Fund.
Another category is event costs: art materials and firing of ceramic works.
Other costs are rewards available in the Kingdom: tea, beverages, meals, snacks. And why do we need rewards? First of all, to motivate people to be active. This is a key element of our Facebook campaign, thanks to which the Kingdom has attracted new visitors.
