Do you want to be added to the event WhatsApp group using the phone number provided?

In the run up to our events, we have found the best way to keep in touch with participants is via a WhatsApp group, which gives an opportunity to ask any questions about the challenge, in an informal manner. It also provides the opportunity for participants to get to know each other, and the event leader before the challenge itself. The group will be set up by FWC and deleted shortly after the event/challenge. Please note that although FWC will not share your telephone number with anyone else, once you are added into the group- the other group members will be able to see your number.
