Our Case Studies
Drone Emergency Services
Air Rescue is a volunteer-led drone response unit, funded through Impact Jersey, and now formally recognised as a ‘Declared Asset’ by Jersey’s Emergency Planning Office. Available 24/7, the team supports emergency services with rapid drone deployment for search and rescue, hazard assessment, live scene monitoring, and incident documentation.
This innovative initiative is on track to be the first independent blue-light drone service in Europe, that solves a real-world problem with smart tech and community collaboration. It’s a standout example of how Impact Jersey funding turns bold ideas into operational reality.
Realtime Sensor IOT Project
Through Impact Jersey funding, this forward-thinking project is using sensor technology to address key challenges in social housing, benefiting some of the island’s most vulnerable residents. After years of research and planning, the team has developed a robust and scalable system that delivers real-time data on energy usage, flood risks, and damp/mould conditions.
It’s a clear demonstration of how Impact Jersey empowers tech-driven solutions that make a tangible difference in our community.
Breathe Jersey
Thrive Jersey is an innovative initiative exploring the root causes of low mood and disengagement across our island. With support from Impact Jersey, the team has launched projects tackling issues like suicide prevention, nutrition, sustainable agriculture, and loneliness.
Impact Jersey funded their project to focus—real-time air pollution monitoring, which fills a long-standing gap in local data. By partnering with Clarity, a global leader in low-cost, high-accuracy sensors, Thrive Jersey is building an open-source network involving schools, parishes, and community groups.
It’s a standout example of how Impact Jersey enables bold, tech-led solutions that empower communities and drive lasting change.
