Programme Manager, Europe
Ruth Ball is a Programme Manager with the Europe team at Centre for Public Impact.
She joined CPI in 2021.
Ruth holds a BA in Ancient and Modern History and is currently studying for a coaching qualification.
Prior to CPI, Ruth worked at Family Support – an organisation that provided early support to families in an area of West London. She supported staff to think about how they could work in a trauma-informed way and consider the impact of child brain development in their work. She also worked for nearly 10 years at the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, supporting innovation to prevent child abuse and neglect. This role involved designing new services, research, developing campaigns and policy work.
Ruth is particularly passionate about the work CPI does with communities and the relational work with organisations in the UK. She enjoyed working with the University of Nottingham Rights Lab, where the team collaborated with researchers and a group of survivors of modern slavery and pracititioners to redesign what the system of support for survivors could look like. Her team worked to facilitate shared sensemaking from the research data and to support codesign sessions.
