Dear Members,
It's Sarah here! We've finally achieved it. The number of members signed up has surpassed the capacity of our chats. If you've enjoyed our WhatsApp chats, please read the information below...
What’s happening?
Since our existing chats have reached their maximum capacity, we struggle to assist both new and existing members in forming new connections, which is crucial for the community's expansion and influence.
Simultaneously, our team is struggling to keep up with the network's growth to give you more opportunities... so, we need your help as we move into a new WhatsApp Community Chat!
Why are you doing this?
To continue to help members create new connections, and attain resources and opportunities without delay while supporting the team behind the scenes growing the network for members.
Communities have a domino effect on everyone involved. Essentially, the sprit of a community is built on a supportive cycle where everyone’s part influences each other.
YOU are part of why WOHK exists!
How will you proceed?
Introducing... The Premium Chat!
It's designed for active, supportive members who want to help the community grow by contributing a modest amount, comparable to the cost of the cheapest coffee in Central. ☕
For a monthly fee, you'll gain access to the network's finest group of individuals in our city, be the first to get the news and benefits AND continue to support the team behind it, multiplying benefits as a collective.
The maximum capacity of our community is 2,000 members, and seats are limited!
When will I be added to the chat?
Starting from January 6, our team will manually add members to the chat, ensuring our security from the get-go as we understand how crucial it is to continue to maintain a space that does not hold us back.
The admins will give priority invitations to engaged members, premium subscribers and moderators.
If you believe you'll be active in the chats and have interest in moderating or have sponsored a major event, please fill in the forms below so our admin can reach out:
I'm not convinced... It should be free!
I understand, the best things should be free, right? But, I assure you, the 25HKD a month is worth it.

We’ve added new subgroups and have brought in moderators who are also members. Now that the community is engaged and manageable for our team, we’re able to provide more interactive opportunities such as giveaways and events exclusive to Premium Chat members! Your safety is our priority – we will provide moderators with a system to keep your experience comfortable!
We've heard your requests to better moderate the chats! Our moderators will be informed on how to spot uncomfortable situations and let us know through a reporting system, for us to review.
Why should I support the team?
Well, because we can't do this without you. If the above is not enough for you to be convinced, there's more...
The Negative Impact of Inactive Members
When people who aren't active take up space in small chat groups, it can make it tough for new members to join in and feel welcome. This can cause a few problems:
Less Chatting
Inactive members don't join the conversation, which can make things feel dull and stop new people from jumping in.
Fewer Opportunities
Unappealing Conversations
Slowed Growth
Fuel for the Team Behind the Scenes
When our community team is stretched thin, the quality of the community can decline. Here are the main issues that have been popping up for us:
Delayed Response Time
Limited staff or time can lead to slower response times and less interaction with community members, ultimately unable to address matters that are important to members. With limited capacity, teams may not be able to promptly address member concerns or conflicts, which can escalate and harm the community's atmosphere.
Burnout & Health Issues
Inconsistent Communication
Missed Opportunities for Growth
A lack of resources may hinder the team's ability to implement new initiatives, gather feedback, or develop strategies to enhance community engagement.
Reduced Quality
Limited Data Analysis
