Ruby Armitage

Ruby works in the Programmes Team at the Premier League, The FA and the Government’s Football Foundation, leading PitchPower – the Football Foundation's free pitch inspection web app. Since joining the Football Foundation in 2022, Ruby has worked to develop and deliver a comprehensive service that enables organisations to easily record information on their current equipment, maintenance and grass pitch quality. PitchPower also provides GMA Regional Pitch Advisors with easy access to review submitted information and compile bespoke reports. These reports assess the current quality and condition of grass pitches, provide tailored maintenance recommendations to support improvements, and help clubs access funding through the Football Foundation’s Grass Pitch Maintenance Fund. She works closely with key stakeholders – the GMA, Rugby Football Union, Rugby Football League, England and Wales Cricket Board, Sport England and County FAs to ensure that the service is a good experience for all use
