Fusiliers Connect

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. Once a member has joined a group they will be able to view upcoming events as well as news and support articles. Fusiliers Connect is home to Walk+Talk, giving members access to the global initiative that is connecting the military community. Fusiliers Connect Pinboard acts as a home on the app to highlight ways to connect, latest news and new initiatives happening within the community. The Notifications function will help steer members to awaiting connection requests, latest news from their groups and upcoming events that are happening in their area. Fusiliers Connect will act as a connective tissue between many organisations and sub communities, providing not only a family regimental feel but also a wider and supportive environment. Fusiliers Connect is currently only open to the Fusiliers and some supporting organisations. Fusiliers Connect is a part of the Military App Community, Military Units or veterans’ associations interested in joining the wider Military App Community can enquire by contacting military@allegr.org.
