Fusiliers Connect is a community platform to help connect veterans, serving personnel and family, designed to drive positive in-person engagement while fostering a sense of belonging and identity. Each member will be assigned a primary group with their member identity linked to their unit’s cap badge. They will be able to add some of their military and professional background that is visible to other members, including serving dates and postings. Members are able to connect with any other member in the Fusiliers and wider Military App community and once a connection request is accepted those members will be able to view each other’s contact information. It is possible to search for other members by their Regiment, proximity to own home location, profession, service dates and interests groups. Members can join a range of community groups ranging from Regiments and Associations, through to activity or support groups sharing signposting content. The Events function shows members all upcoming events and event adverts with embedded chat group links, event details and location map pins are there to make it easy and simple to connect in-person.
