About Me

Hello! I’m Grace Akpene, your go-to project co-ordinator, researcher, poet, and all-round creative enthusiast. I specialise in bespoke 'back office' support tailored for artists, activists, and social impact organisations. My mission? To ensure that your visions are not just inspired but also organised, operational, and impactful.

I thrive on turning chaos into streamlined processes, helping you navigate the complexities of operations and finance. I believe that creativity flourishes best in a structured environment, so I focus on crafting customised solutions that amplify your unique voice and mission.

Whether it's guiding you through project management, providing insightful research, or simply offering a listening ear, I'm here to encourage and empower you to reach new heights. Let’s maximise your impact together—because everyone deserves to shine!

How can I help?

Are you an artist, activist, or part of a grassroots group looking to amplify your impact without the stress of managing operations and finances? Look no further! I provide bespoke 'back office' support tailored specifically to your unique needs.

Imagine having a dedicated partner who understands the creative chaos, helping you streamline your processes and maximise your potential. From project co-ordination that ensures every detail is attended to, to meticulous research that backs up your vision with solid data, I’ve got you covered.

I bring an innovative flair to the mundane tasks that often hold you back. I’ll handle the boring bits—like budgets, admin, and strategy—while you focus on what you do best: creating, inspiring, and making change.

Your mission deserves the best support—let’s make it happen!

  • For this, I offer fortnightly, monthly or quarterly meetings. These are to provide a space to focus on your finances and operations. In between meetings I can work on any issues that come up.

    My rate for this is £50/hour

  • You can commission me to set up a process, support with finances (eg. budgeting, producing a profit and loss) or a piece of research to advise your business strategy.

    My rate for this is £300/day

  • Through an initial consultation we can work together to establish what support you need. It may not fit into either of the options above and that's fine - I develop bespoke packages of support suitable to your budget, timeline and needs
