Case Studies

The Highlands Foundation required a secure Digital ID platform for a very unique reason

The Highlands College Foundation, having made amendments to its Constitution, is honoured to administer the Le Catillon II Hoard Fund. The Fund serves to distribute grants to successful applicants for, “The promotion of scientific and educational research into the Le Catillon II Hoard, including research by staff, students and alumni of Highlands College and research by any third party, in Jersey or overseas”.

In September 2023, Highlands College Foundation were assigned to administer the funds from the sale of the Le Catillon II Coin hoard to Jersey’s Government in 2021. £250,000 of the £4.25 million purchase was allocated for the use of scientific and educational research into the hoard.

These funds can now be applied for by staff, students, and alumni of Highlands College, as well as for research by any third party in Jersey or from overseas wishing to further investigate this historic discovery, with the first grants having been issued in June 2024.

Vaiie were approached following their successful delivery of Digital ID capability to the Government of Jersey under the JerseyMe brand.  The Highlands College Foundation required support in providing a secure and efficient way of proving Digital ID of applications to the Le Catillon II Hoard Fund and we were only too happy to support this historically important endeavour.

Highlands College Foundation allocated the Le Catillon II Coin Hoard Fund to promote scientific and educational research into the hoard.

The Highlands Collage Foundation – Highlands College’s charitable arm, has been granted £250,000 from the sale of the Le Catillon II coin hoard, which is to be made available for scientific and educational research into the hoard.

The hoard was uncovered by two local amateur metal detectorists back in 2012, and under Jersey Law, it was automatically declared the property of the Crown. Negotiations between Jersey’s government and the Crown took place until 2021 when the Government of Jersey bought the hoard for £4.25 million, with £250,000 allocated for the scientific and educational research of the hoard. The Highlands College Foundation was identified as a suitable vehicle to hold and administer the funds, a decision accepted by members of the association in August 2023.

The Chairman of the Foundation, David Lord, said: “The trustees of the Highlands College Foundation were honoured to be approached by His Majesty’s Receiver General to be the vehicle for the administration and distribution of this significant sum of money.”

He continued, saying: “The opportunity for Highlands College and the Foundation to be involved in further discovery work of the Le Catillion Hoard is very exciting and adds another opportunity for the Island’s population to appreciate the amazing resource that Highlands College is to education in Jersey.”
