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.

Where would we be without Bryn ? what a visionary and force of nature to bring the Help for Heroes charity into reality. A real sad loss for all those who raise money and have benefitted from the H4H. I remember my first & only time I saw Bryn, was at the British 10K start line with thousands of other runners. H4H had the honour of starting the race in 2014 and remember Bryn giving a great speech to the massed runners from a balcony overlooking the start line, followed by a choir. A very sad day
