Community Resources

 

Main site - ALISS logo

 

ALISS (A Local Information System for Scotland), is an online resource that helps to link people with support within their local communities. ALISS has been co-produced with people with long-term conditions and professionals, and it offers a means for communities to work together to gather, maintain and share vital information.

 

ALISS can help you find information about resources like:

  • services that provide support for managing long term conditions

  • groups that support social and community connection (e.g., local choirs, book groups, befriending)

  • activities that offer opportunities for getting more active and for getting outdoors (e.g., badminton clubs, community gardens)

  • practical, legal, and financial support (e.g., money advice, advocacy services)

  • digital technology that can support health and social care (e.g., online forums, health related mobile apps).
