In a world where you can be anything, be kind. Here at Smart Pack we believe that true kindness is all about giving back where we can. Theo Pearce, who is part of our Production Team, chose Arthritis NZ as his charity of choice. When Theo isn’t in the warehouse, he loves spending his free time on the soccer field, and believes all of New Zealand’s people should have a chance to be pain free and enjoy the outdoors. He wanted to do his bit by helping make dreams become a reality.
‘Improving the life of every person affected by Arthritis.’
Arthritis NZ is a national not-for-profit organisation, focused on raising awareness and providing advice and support. Arthritis is a term that covers more than 140 conditions that affect joints. Some types of Arthritis affect the skin and internal organs as well. People of all ages can get Arthritis, including infants, it is a chronic condition with no cure.

This year, World Arthritis Day took place on Tuesday the 12th of October. We wanted to do our bit by getting involved in this awesome initiative.
