ALISS – A Local Information System for Scotland

What is ALISS?

ALISS is a national digital programme enabling people and professionals to find and share information on resources, services, groups, and support in their local communities and online.

We 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).

ALISS’s aim is to ensure that everyone in Scotland has the right information, at the right time, about resources that are available to help them live well and stay connected to their community.

Using ALISS

Resources you can find on ALISS are added and edited by people living and working in the community. This means that if you cannot find the service you are looking for, you can add it to the system by creating an account.
