Since Victim Support's establishment in 1986, the organisation has the privilege of having the support of three patrons - Dame Anne Ballin, Dame Augusta Wallace, and Sir Howard Morrison. Our current patron Dame Malvina is an internationally acclaimed soprano and opera star.

I’ve been Patron of Victim Support for nine years, and in that time much has changed in all our lives.
What hasn’t changed, is the absolute commitment and clear determination of Victim Support to help those who need support. I wholeheartedly congratulate everyone; volunteers, staff, Board Directors, Local Group Committees, supporters, funders, and especially those early pioneers of the service, on delivering essential service to communities all around New Zealand for over three decades.
I sing my praises with a great deal of pride for Victim Support.
Dame Malvina Major
