Financial Comments: You can see our budget at our webpage. In 2024 we have received 10.000 kr. from the municipality and it will mainly be used on snacks for the kids. We also received 8000 from Nibefestival, quite late in 2024, mostly to have a social gathering which will be postponed to 2025, so we have time to plan it well.
