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

The great Bryn Parry

So sad to hear of the death of the truly great Bryn Parry, founder of Help for Heroes. Met him several times, and am a proud owner of one of his original prints. Our shoot and many others I enjoy have supported H4H from day one, and in my leisure time I’ve proudly worn a H4H band ever since then. His massive contribution to the care of our wounded, I know so well as a consultant surgeon at the largest trauma centre in Europe. Rest in peace, our brave heroes owe you so much.

The great Bryn Parry
