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.

Rest in Peace Bryn, you were an inspiration and driving force for H4H for a generation, and for generations to come. I was privileged to have been able to volunteer with H4H after the passing of Drummer Lee Rigby, and we took hundreds of customer calls from all over the UK from people of all ages and backgrounds who bought their Hoodies and shared what H4H meant to them personally, and to all our wounded and recovering veterans, it was truly humbling. Your legacy lives on Bryn, God Bless You.
