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.

I was never lucky enough to spend any length of time talking with Bryn; meeting him only in passing at Tedworth House. That said, it's fair to say that the impact that Bryn has had on my life as an H4H beneficiary, and now an ambassador, has been profound. In fact, as I suspect is the case for many, it's probable that Bryn and Emma's efforts (and those of all who have worked at H4H) saved my life. It really is as stark and simple as that. I owe Bryn a debt of gratitude. RIP mate.
