Music, museums, and local support during Dementia Action Week
May 18th marked the start of Dementia Action Week - a week dedicated to raising awareness and improving support for people living with dementia. Glasgow Life Libraries celebrated this week with a Health & Wellbeing session to shine a light on organisations making a positive impact. Here we learned about some amazing local resources and services, as well as a brand‑new Dementia Fest coming to Glasgow’s West End in June. Read all about it here.
New features on ALISS
We are excited to share some new updates to ALISS, including two new badges and a map view of the search results. These changes focus on making it easier for users to find the right support and enabling organisations to highlight important information about their services. Learn what's new here!
ALISS Asset Mapping 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. Click here to view the toolkit.
An end-of-year update from the ALISS team
Earlier this year, we invited you to share your experience of using ALISS. Thanks to your feedback, we improved the homepage, made mobile navigation simpler, and introduced keyword search so you can find the right support faster. Read all the details here.
‘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. Click here to view the toolkit.
