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

I had the pleasure of meeting Bryn and Emma when H4H was just after a swimming pool at headley court and what a legend he turned out to be with the speed and set up of H4H from a tin hut to 5 houses which I went through 1 in 2013 when leaving the forces, I know that without his and Emma passion and help I wouldn’t be where I am today God bless Emma and family xx RIP Bryn stand easy your job and legacy are done xx
