Partners,
Please see attached poster which I have previously sent to you all. Can I ask that you share this far and wide across your networks to encourage all community organisations, groups and clubs whether they are large or small who support health and wellbeing to attend the workshops to find out about ALISS. They could be a knitting club, befrienders group, a support group, or just somewhere people can go for a chat, anything that supports the health and wellbeing of our communities.
ALISS (A Local Information System for Scotland) is a digital system that helps communities work together to find and share information about local groups, organisations, activities and services that can support health and wellbeing.
Information added to ALISS is made available through the www.aliss.org website as well as a range of other websites, systems, and apps so it can be accessed by people searching directly for themselves, as well as by professionals involved in social prescribing and signposting roles, through a range of channels where different people may choose to look for it.
Adding your own group or organisation to ALISS helps people who are looking for support or to get involved in community activities, to find them more easily. You can also then ‘claim’ your organisation on ALISS to take editorial responsibility for managing your information to make sure it stays accurate and up to date.
ALISS is funded by the Scottish Government and managed by the Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland (the ALLIANCE) so is completely free to use for anyone wishing to add or search for information.
Please can you share the attached poster across your networks and social media platforms to encourage as many organisations and groups as possible to attend these workshops.
To book a place at an in person event please email [email protected] stating the date that you wish to attend and how many people will be attending.

If you have any questions about using ALISS or would like any help to add or claim your own information, please get in touch by emailing [email protected].
