Alleyne&

Alleyne& is a collaborative consultancy and research incubator that designs and delivers organisational programmes and public engagement activities. They work with brands, communities and individuals to understand how power influences culture, and how using that power as a positive force can make them brilliant and sustainable.

Alleyne & was founded by Suzanne Alleyne and driven by her research enquiry, Neurology of Power. Neurology of Power translates the theory of neuroscience into a framework methodology that helps organisations understand and address their challenges around power.

Paul Hamlyn Foundation has supported Alleyne& since 2022, originally with a Development grant, before they became one of the first grantholders of our refreshed Arts Fund. This funding has supported the creation of ​‘Sustainable Brilliance’, their people development framework. Alleyne& encourage organisations to look at power and how it manifests personally and collectively. They facilitate sessions to help organisations discover what it feels like to work in their workplace, examine their collective beliefs and behaviours, and explore what everyone in the organisation needs to thrive.

Explaining why Alleyne& were successful in their grant application, Emma, Grants Manager said: ​“Their vision is based on the principle that sharing power doesn’t divide power, it multiplies it, and this is evident from previous work they’ve undertaken with organisations including Barbican, What Next and Tate Plus. We think this is incredibly interesting work and our support will allow Alleyne & to explore how a longer-term approach can create substantial social change.”

Alleyne& ensure their work is universally beneficial by amplifying their learnings, sharing recommendations via sector keynotes, and using their digital channels to spark conversation, thereby developing the sector’s response to social inequity.
