Ooops, we're full -  if you didn't manage to snap up a ticket but would like to know more about ALISS and how you can get involved in the future please get in touch

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a wealth of organisations, classes, groups, advice centres and other support services around Scotland that can help those living with a long term health condition. Some of them are right on our doorstep.

But how do we find them? What's really available in the streets around us? It isn't always so easy to find out, particularly on the web.

The ALISS project is developing a platform to link up local information from a variety of sources to give people a bigger, richer picture of the community around them.

This isn't just about health information. We're interested in places where people can meet up and help each other, support for independent living, leisure opportunities, community events and places to enjoy some fresh air and exercise.


We all know of examples of people, places and events in our own communities and we need to begin to build a collective picture together, capturing information and mapping these local assets. We've started to do this in a few areas and you can read more about these.


mapping local resources

 

Our next event will aim to start mapping some of this good stuff around Edinburgh.

Come along and :

  • hear about local health and wellbeing services
  • share information about your service or project 
  • help to begin building a map of Edinburgh's health and wellbeing support 
  • learn more about how you can use ALISS to help with your own information services

Everyone is welcome, particularly if you work in the voluntary sector or health service, helping people with long term conditions to live better, more independent lives. 

It will be a hands-on, practical morning. We'll show ALISS in action and then do some mapping together, discovering some new local resources and thinking about how we might use ALISS to develop new information services in the future. 

If you can't attend but would like to know more please do get in touch.
