Fun this Year’s edition of “Musikhjälpen” hit a record of money collected. When the broadcast was over was the total of over 49 million.

Records replace each other in this year’s edition of “Musikhjälpen”, which had the theme “Children in war have the right to go to school”.

The collected sum has increased every year since its inception in 2008, but when the broadcast ended for this year, it was clear that the total improved upon significantly compared to a year ago.

“bull’s-eye”

During a year in which most of the collections in Sweden have gone worse than last year, according to Radiohjälpens secretary-general, Per Byman, managed to “Musikhjälpen” collect a total of 49 003 745 sek. There are almost 18 million more than in the previous year. The reason for the large sum is spelled clarity, ” says Josefine Jinder:

- It is a format that captures a very wide audience. All that is with is current and relevant, and the theme has been right on target this year. I think that there has been a frustration, that people find it difficult to know how to help. When it comes to a programme with very clear theme so, people want to be with.

Sixth time lucky?

the Record was in the number of commitment: 312 000. The final ten will now take care of the money collected and make the first decisions on which projects will receive funding in January.
