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.

My thoughts are with Emma and family at this difficult time and to those whose lives he touched for the better. I'm sure hearts are full of admiration for this truly dedicated man who had unstoppable energy in his quest to help veterans live more fulfilled lives. I feel honoured to have worked with Bryn at Help for Heroes and witness his passion for others and not-settle-for-just-anything attitude. And not forgetting his undeniable artistic talent. An inspiration. Rest in peace Bryn.
