New sales record for the Swedish Parliament

Every year on April 25, we celebrate Eriksdagen in 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 Eriksdagen, the entire day’s proceeds go to Erikshjälpen’s children’s rights work. Since Eriksdagen began in 2008, the day has raised a total of 44 million Swedish kronor (SEK).

New sales record

Thanks to the tremendous dedication of volunteers, customers, and visitors, this year’s Eriksdag was a huge success. Together, we set a new sales record for Eriksdag and raised 3,626,625 Swedish kronor (SEK) children’s rights to education, health, safety, and protection.

Celebrations at many stores

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.

Together for Children's Rights

Thank you to everyone who participated and made this day possible. Together, we will continue our work for children’s rights.
