Miracles are happening! March brought a new record of visits to the Kingdom. There were more than 600 of them! In comparison, in March 2024 (just before Value Plan support), our place was visited 257 times. This means that attendance increased by 135%. Much of the credit for this goes to our Facebook campaign, thanks to which completely new people visit us every week. However, this activity would not have been possible if it were not for the support from 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. March also included on-screen advertising. HBDs covering these costs have been placed in the Development Fund.
Another category is event costs: art materials and board games.
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.
