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

Many memories of Bryn with Emma by his side ❤️ Hero Ride, Downton, The Tin Hut, Pie & Pint at Tedworth and the opening of Phoenix House where we had a bizarre & hilarious conversation regarding vegetarian sausages!! Bryn and Emma have changed not only the lives of thousands of beneficiaries of H4H for the better but also the Volunteers each and everyone of us welcomed with open arms into the H4H family. I will be forever in your debt for that - THANKYOU #OnwardandUpward but with a heavier heart.
