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

I’d just like to say I wish I’d met you but even though I don’t know you at all I’ve inherited your love of aircraft and the ability to operate computers and to fix errors to enable a smooth run of input. I think you were a Flight Engineer and you passed on a version of your skills to me so I’m forever grateful to you for all of the above. Rest in peace wherever you are and thanks for helping to create me. Lots of love Cathy Xxxxxx
