AI powered Intel technology will empower help for heroes’ staff to support even more UK Veterans
Help for Heroes, the U.K’s leading veteran charity, alongside Global IT solutions provider CDW have today announced a commitment to support the charity’s critical work using AI integrated technology and specialised training.
The technology is provided by CDW, partnered with Intel and HPI, who are donating over 85 Intel® Core™ Ultra’ HP devices, supporting the use of the AI for Citizen curriculum. The equipment will empower Help for Heroes to advance its mission of helping veterans live well after service.
The integration of AI will improve efficiency, creating a better beneficiary journey whilst also enabling veterans to build valuable skills and knowledge in AI – an increasingly vital area of knowledge in today’s digital landscape.
This partnership reflects CDW’s commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant and its mission to support veterans, reservists, and their families – whilst advancing digital equity.
As well as all new AI integrated equipment, the partnership also provides Intel’s online specialist AI training for veterans and Help for Heroes staff. They will receive valuable education in this innovative field, which can be a powerful tool in helping veterans transition to new career paths after their service has ended.
The partnership launched at Help for Heroes head office in Downton with a training day led by Intel, equipping staff with insights and hands-on experience in AI technology.
James Needham, CEO of Help for Heroes, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, saying:
“As a charity we are eager to use every tool at our disposal to provide the best support we possibly can for our beneficiaries. With this increase in our technological capabilities, we can be even more efficient and agile as a charity, ultimately allowing us to help more veterans and their families. We are incredibly grateful to CDW and their partners Intel and HP, for their commitment to ensure veterans can live well after service.”
Nick Garland, Head of Defence and Secure Government at CDW, comments:
“Advancing digital equity is at the core of our Social Impact strategy at CDW. Through this partnership, we are delighted to be able to provide access to technology and the training needed alongside this, benefiting the veterans, staff and volunteers of this incredible charity. By equipping Help for Heroes with cutting-edge AI integrated devices and specialised training, we hope to empower more veterans to transition smoothly into civilian life and thrive in new career paths.”
Help for Heroes champions the Armed Forces community and helps them live well after service. The charity helps veteran families to recover and get on with their lives. It has already supported more than 31,000 people and won’t stop until every veteran gets the support they deserve.
The Charity supports veteran families, from any branch of the UK military – regulars or reserves – irrespective of length or place of service, and locally embedded civilians (and their families) who worked under the command of UK Armed Forces.
