New sales record for ERIK's day

Every year on April 25, we celebrate ERIK's day our secondhand stores across Sweden. It’s a day when we honor the memory of our founder, Erik Nilsson—and at the same time make a real difference for children around the world. Every day, our stores’ surplus goes surplus children’s rights. But on ERIK's day , the entire day’s proceeds ERIK's day to Erikshjälpen’s children’s rights work. Since ERIK's day in 2008, the day has raised a total of 44 million Swedish kronor (SEK).
