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

So sorry to hear the passing of Bryn. I had the pleasure of completing the BBBR in 2010 and the Dawn Raid in 2013 meeting Bryn on both occasions and what an inspiration you and Emma were on those long days in the saddle. You had time to speak to everyone to hear their story of why they were doing the rides and raising the funds. A truly brilliant charity with fantastic people who will miss you greatly. Condolences to Emma and the family. RIP Bryn a truly inspirational leader.
