About Us

Roger Parry FRICS

President

Roger Parry is a Land and Estate Agent based in Shropshire and has been involved with Shropshire Rural Support for over 25 years, first as a volunteer, then as a trustee, and now as President.

He had the honour of representing SRS at a Buckingham Palace Garden Party following the charity’s receipt of the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Services to the Community in 2022.

In his professional and charitable work, Roger frequently encounters people experiencing depression, addiction, financial difficulties, or loneliness. Deeply aware of the risks of severe depression, including suicide, he is committed to supporting SRS’s mission. Founded in the early 1990s by Clifford Evans MBE in response to rural suicides, SRS acts as a facilitator, listening to people’s concerns in strictest confidence and directing them to the appropriate sources of help.

Looking ahead, Roger is helping lead the introduction of new initiatives to support those in need across Shropshire. He also values the charity’s dedicated administration team, skilled volunteers, and committed trustees, whose collective efforts ensure SRS continues to make a real difference in rural communities.

Testimonials

After experiencing severe flooding I was struggling to feed our stock and pay bills, Shropshire Rural Support introduced me to RABI who gave me some financial help to buy groceries and pay the house bills.
