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.

A friend said "the world is a poorer place today in the absence of Bryn" and I echo that. Bryn & Emma changed so many lives & not just those of the beneficiaries & their families, but all of us who worked for H4H. It's amazing the things that have happened because of H4H, the much-deserved support and provision given to those in need, of course, but also the careers, relationships, babies (!) etc. Bryn was an incredible human being with a huge heart, you will be so missed. Love to the Parry's x
