Bryn Parry CBE

Everyone at Help for Heroes is deeply saddened by the news that our co-founder Bryn Parry CBE has passed away at the age of 66 after a short illness with pancreatic cancer.

Bryn, his wife Emma Parry OBE, and a small group of close friends, set up the Charity up in October 2007 after identifying an urgent need for better care and support for wounded troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Bryn’s energy, dedication and passion soon propelled Help for Heroes into the national spotlight. The Charity became a household name overnight. As a result, hundreds of millions of pounds have been raised since. And the lives of tens of thousands wounded, sick and injured service personnel, veterans and their families have been transformed.

We’re so grateful for all Bryn has done and we have lots of amazing memories of him. We’re sure you do too. If you’d like to share your memories, condolences, and even a photo, please do so on this page.

Make a Dedication

Bryn Emma and Family

H4H are helping me after I eventually went to an outreach coffee morning 3 months ago. I just learnt about youre sad loss whilst reading more about how it all started and what the organisation and its people do for those who are struggling, or have very serious physical injuries. My story is long and complicated. I am a veteran of the 1st Gulf war having joined in 1983. NHS counselling didnt work for me. The help I get from the amazing people at H4H is helping me tremendously. Thank you so much.
