At Hub Packaging we are dedicated to making the world a better place and we will help in any way we can to make that possible. Through our charity work we have chosen to support MASICORP Charity from October to March. MASICORP supports the township of Masiphumelele, near Cape Town in South Africa where more than 38,000 people live in shacks in an area just over one square kilometre. Since 1999, their work has made a proven difference to the lives of people in Masiphumelele.

Their primary focus is education — the surest route out of poverty. Projects cover pre-school to adult learners. They also support community entrepreneurs in small business development. To raise some money for them we have decided to do a sponsored weight loss, a challenge we felt we needed!

Why weight loss we hear you cry, well put simply, have you seen us?! In the past year, 4 members of the Hub Team have lost 219lbs between them. The same weight as a baby elephant! (Maybe this is why we need to recruit another member of staff) 7 other team members that were willing/forced to join us will be helping the team lose a collective 100lbs this November!!
