Putting local support on the map with ALISS
Did you know that ALISS is much more than a directory of services? With over 9,000 listings, ALISS helps people find health and wellbeing support across Scotland. However, ALISS is also about making that information openly available, enabling organisations to share it in ways that best meet the needs of their communities. Organisations like Aberdeen City HSCP and LGBT Health and Wellbeing are already using the ALISS Customisable Map Tool to create engaging, easy-to-use maps that help people discover local services and support.

Find out more about the ALISS maps here.

New features on ALISS
Have you seen the new features on the ALISS website yet? These includes two new badges and a map view of the search results with a focus on making it easier for users to find the right support and enabling organisations to highlight important information about their services.

ALISS Asset Mappig Toolkit
We are pleased to relaunch the Asset Mapping Toolkit with a refreshed design and updated content. Rooted in an asset-based approach to health and wellbeing, the toolkit supports communities to identify and share local resources. It is practical and flexible, and explains what asset mapping is, how to use ALISS as part of the process, and how asset mapping can support community wellbeing.

‘Our Health, Our Place, Our Voice’ Toolkit
In the past year, we have been working to refresh the ‘Our Health, Our Place, Our Voice’ toolkit. First developed in 2015, the toolkit has been reshaped to meet the changing needs of today’s young people and the evolving educational landscape, reflecting the importance of having young people’s voices heard. The updated toolkit  is designed to be practical, flexible and engaging, and introduces young people to using ALISS.

ALISS and Glasgow Community Food Network
Our Engagement Officer Amber spoke with Mark, Sarah, and Rebecca from Glasgow Community Food Network (GCFN). ALISS and GCFN have been working together to develop a local food map showing Glasgow’s free or low-cost community food services. You can find out how the map is helping GCFN to make fresh food more accessible and available by watching Amber and the team in the video below.
