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 Parry CBE

Condolences to the family . With out the setting up of help for heroes . I would have ever been here . I’m my darkest hours I reached out for help . Soon I was back on my feet with the help I received from the charity . I don’t drink or take drugs anymore for my issues I have both mentally or physically. Barry thanks you from the bottom of my heart for starting something that has changed the lives of so many . You’re a legend and legends are remembered for ever . God bless your family
