Connecting to people locally

A good way of making sure anyone joining the Heat Strike campaign finds your XR local group is first to join the email list for Heat Strike and you'll be sent a link to join your nation/region WhatsApp community chat. Then you can either find or create a chat for your city/town . e.g create ‘Liverpool’ within the North.
