Dialogue, Deeds & Determination: Voices from Bolton

On Saturday 12th July, GM4Women2028 brought together an incredible community of women, girls and allies in Bolton for our latest Dialogue, Deeds & Determination event – and the response has left us inspired, encouraged and filled with purpose.

Here’s what some of you had to say:

“Really inspiring & empowering.”

“Uplifting.”

“Helpful, funny but down to earth. Thank you.”

“A great space where women can feel empowered and have honest and frank conversations.”

“Empowering, educational, informative.”

“Very informative, thought-provoking and emotional at times.”

“Inspirational, fun, inclusive, eye-opening, altogether amazing. Wouldn’t have missed it for the world!”

One attendee told us:

“It was extremely inspiring listening to many people from different organisations and charities explaining how through collaboration they have made their voices and purpose stronger. This has resulted in huge differences to individuals, children and families, wider communities, Greater Manchester and further afield!”

The energy in the room was undeniable – described as “very inspiring, encouraging and motivating” and “a celebration of women supporting women”.

Of course, we also welcome honest feedback – including negative comments with feedback including “disappointing”, “not relevant to me” and “perhaps allow for more breaks”. Every viewpoint helps us grow, improve and ensure future events are even more impactful and inclusive.

Whether you were with us all day or only briefly popped in, your voice matters. We’re so grateful for your presence, participation and spirit.

We’ll be back in 2026 – so mark your calendars and stay tuned for more chances to come together, speak up and spark change.
