On Saturday, April 25, we celebrated ERIK's day our secondhand stores. Thanks to the tremendous dedication of volunteers, visitors, and customers, sales totaled 3,626,625 Swedish kronor (SEK). These funds will support our work for children’s rights.
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).
Thanks to the tremendous dedication of volunteers, customers, and visitors, this year’s ERIK’s Day was a huge success. Together, we set a new sales record for ERIK's day raised 3,626,625 Swedish kronor (SEK) children’s rights to education, health, safety, and protection.
Several stores celebrated with activities for both children and adults. These included face painting, crafts, and contests. Some locations featured bouncy castles and visits from groups such as the fire department.
Thank you to everyone who participated and made this day possible. Together, we will continue our work for children’s rights.
