Warmest congratulations to Ms Bunting, CEO of Victim Support Northern Ireland, on being awarded an MBE for services to victims and witnesses of crime.

This is an outstanding and well-deserved recognition of her unwavering commitment to ensuring that victims’ voices are heard, respected, and upheld. Her values, dedication and leadership have had a significant impact on strengthening support and justice for victims across Northern Ireland and Europe.

We are proud and grateful to have her as part of the Victim Support Europe network, and we greatly value our collaboration with her and the organisation she leads in Northern Ireland, Victim Support NI.

We look forward to continuing our work together with someone who stands out as an example to others in advocating for victims’ rights.
