We are very pleased and grateful that the Postcode Lottery has chosen UNHCR as their new beneficiary. The support from the Lottery will help many of the world’s refugees, and we are looking forward to a long and prosperous partnership, says Hans ten Feld, regional representative UNHCR Stockholm.

UNHCR will be one of the recipients of the funds that the Swedish Postcode Lottery has raised throughout the year, which are estimated at up to a total of SEK 450 million. The allocation of the funds will take place in a ceremony broadcasted on the TV4 show “Postkodmiljonären" on the 19th of October.
