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.

What an incredible man. I remember the change at Wootton Bassett when the public started coming out to honour the dead from Afghanistan. I believe that was due to H4H raising awareness of what was happening in our name and calling on the nation to pay tribute. Recognising the wounded as well as the fallen and campaigning for veterans rights to be at the front of the queue for NHS treatment as was rightly deserved. Calling out the Government on a duty to our military personnel. Well done.
