Marking International Women’s Day: Butterfly Data Supports GM4Women2028

In celebration of International Women’s Day 2026, we are proud to share our support for GM4Women2028 and their continued work to advance gender equality across Greater Manchester.

Butterfly Data has made a £2,000 contribution to GM4Women2028, alongside offering specialist data gathering and insight support for the 2026 Pankhurst-Fawcett Scorecard. This combined financial and in-kind support will strengthen the Scorecard’s evidence base by improving data collection, analysis and insight into where gender inequalities persist and for whom, as the campaign enters its crucial final years.

As a values-led data consultancy and certified B-Corp, we believe that high-quality, ethical data is essential for meaningful change. This belief underpins both our work and our commitment to using our expertise for social good.

A shared commitment

Helen Pankhurst CBE, Convenor of GM4Women2028, said:

“We’re very grateful to Butterfly Data for both their generous donation and their commitment to supporting our ongoing data work. Strong, trustworthy evidence is essential if we are to measure progress honestly and push for meaningful change. As we approach the final stretch of GM4Women2028’s decade-long initiative, running from 2018 to 2028, this support can ensure our Scorecard remains a powerful tool for accountability and action.”

From Butterfly Data, co-founder and director Sara Boltman added:

“Our mission is to empower organisations to use data responsibly and in ways that create real human impact. As a B-Corp dedicated to inclusivity and social value, we believe robust evidence is crucial to advancing equality. We’re pleased to assist GM4Women2028 with our dual offering of a monetary donation and data expertise to elevate the Scorecard’s ability to highlight inequalities and drive progress that makes a difference.”

Coinciding with International Women’s Day, this support reflects our commitment to celebrating progress while acknowledging the ongoing work needed to achieve gender equality - and the vital role that trustworthy data plays in that journey.
