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.

Sir, There are no words to express what you have done for me and so many others like me. You have saved countless lives, through your H4H hard work. You were there for us, when a largely ungrateful nation, totally inadequate MOD and a hopeless NHS gave us nothing. You should have had way more recognition. My most sincere condolences to your wife and all your family, may these words give them some strength at this tragic time. Until we meet again at the FRV. I salute you.
