The government is now presenting a proposal with 30 initiatives to make life easier for the country’s associations and volunteers. The goal is to cut down on unnecessary bureaucracy and give the fire souls more time for activities rather than paperwork.
Among the initiatives are simpler rules for sports events and cobbler markets.
In the future, the associations must be able to gather information such as Paskopias in one place instead of sending them around. The rules for tax -free allowance are simplified and the amount limit is raised. Only the chairman and treasurer will in future sign grant accounts. Also the opportunities to spend the night in schools are improved.
-We come with a steam drum of initiatives that grind unnecessarily bureaucracy, says Minister of Culture Jakob Engel-Schmidt.
Business Minister Morten Bødskov adds:
– It’s a big step towards more time for banko and badminton!
According to Minister Morten Dahlin, the goal is for volunteering to be fun – not hassle.
The play is based on recommendations from a association partnership with which the government will continue to cooperate.
