Community engagement charity Sobus is looking for talented, passionate individuals to join our Board of Trustees.  We are looking for general trustees and also an individual to become our new Trustee Treasurer to help guide the charity through a time of exciting opportunity and development.

 The overarching aim of Sobus is to “strengthen local communities”, through the provision of infrastructure support to the local voluntary sector in the borough of Hammersmith & Fulham and supporting business communities around our North Kensington hub.    

Our work is focused on five main areas:

All Trustees: You will share our vision and want to take a leading role in our journey to be recognised as an outstanding organisation.  Ideally, you will be a Hammersmith & Fulham or North Kensington resident (or former resident), or have a tangible, established and current connection with the area.

Sobus was formed in 2014 following a merger between the Community & Voluntary Sector Association and Fulham Community Partnership Trust. However, we were first established as the local CVS in Hammersmith & Fulham in 1998. 

Sobus is fully committed to equality of opportunity and diversity to ensure that we reflect the full breadth of the people that we support. We therefore warmly welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates.
