2021.22 Review
Introduction
During this financial year. the.. Covi&19 pandemic continued io have a major impad on our
work. our ways of WOTking and our income.
The nationwide lockdown and social distancing restrictions began to ease from 17th May. and
all social distancing restrictions were lifted in July 2021 as the national Covid-19 vaccination
programme was widely implemented and the severity of Covid-19 began to lessen. However,
although central Government encouraged people to return to the workplace. the majority of
those who could, continued to work femolely, with this becomiThJ the mainstay for a significant
number of businesses as part of their longer term planning. Many VCS organisalions,
introdutsd a hybrid model of working - with some lace to fa￿ Semces being reintroduced
by spring 2021, vthist back office work was often done wth staff working remotely.
Sobus applied the same m¢>Jel of V￿rking. Stsff had begun to retum lo the workplace in
spring 2021, but the majority of gTOUPS we work wlh cOntinL￿d to prefer online SUPPK)rt,
networks and forums, with few opling for face to face services.
Strategic plan
During this year, we completed our 5-year strategic plan.
Our vision is of strong and engaged communities: where residents and
organisations are empowered to make a positive difference to the causes they
believe in. and our mission is to achieve this through providing voice,
presentation and support to residents through the or9anisations that support
them.
The Board has agreed that in order to delrver its vision and mission. Sobus will pursue the
following strategic objectives
1. Support a stronger. sustainable Voluntary Communty Sector (VCS) in LBHF
2. Strengthen the voice of the VCS and those they support
3. Develop and sUPPOrt Collaboratron. Cooperation and Coordination with and between
the VCS, and build and develop stronger link5 With statvtory and corporate sectors
4. Maximise and make best use of our assets to support the VCS in Hammersmilh &
Fulham and the enterprise community in North Kensington
5. Be a sustainable. responsible, responsive and effective organisation
To deliver this plan, Sobus reslruclured a number of key PD5ts to ensure the skills and
competencies needed to deliver th8 strategy are in place. AJI staff members wll d8velop
workplans that explicitly set out how their role and activities will deliver Ihe priorities, which
will enable the Board to Irack progress.

Partnerships & Forums
Local VCS organisalions continued to look for our support to nelworf(, connect and
cdlaborate v411h other VCS and statutory sector services. Our(Mline forums continued to be
well attended. with a number of collaborations arising from these. Most notably, the
development of Ageing Well Grants. initiated through the Sobus POPS Forum, and provided
opportunities lo link newly emerging organisalions with more established groups. to develop
a peer mentoring service to groups who secured grant funding.
As in 20-21, groups opted for our forums and nelworks to contriue lo be held remotely. With
the majority of all other Meetings. including the Health & Wellbeing Board and all Integrated
Care Partnership meetings also being held online, Ihis has become the normal way of working
across the majority of the engagement opportunities we are involved in. Whilst this can offer
benefils. including making meetings easy to attend. it also comes with challenges. particularly
in supporting VCS organisation5 to also meaningfully participae.
Offline meetings provide the opportunity for Ihose who are less confident to be supported to
participale, and the opportunity for those infomial conversalxjns and networking that can
often result in new connections being made. informal￿n shared and new possibilities
identified. As the year drew to a close, we began to see in-person rneelings begin to be held,
which was welcomed by organisatsons as a useful opportunityto effectively ne￿rk.
Hubs
During this year. the legacy of uncertainty from Ihe Covd-19 pandemic continued to present
challenges, for both Sobus and the voluntary and community organisalions we support.
The critical impact for Sobus has been the reduction of income geneiated through our hubs.
Both Dawes Road and Freston Road Hub remained very quiet throughout the year,
particularly Dawes Road Hub. Freslon Road Hub saw an in(yease in room hire during the
year, wilh two organisations regularly booking space for their wY)rk around worklessness and
employment. At both hubs. very few licensees retumed lo office based working, opting to
continue to woik from home for the majority of the time. arwj only coming inlo the hubs
occasionally. This trend remained throughout 21-22. and only in Febru8rylMarch did we
begin to see an increase in footfall across both siles.
In response lo this. we continued to minimise all possible exp?￿j1tUre. including decreasing
the houTS of our support slaff through their agreement from the end of the fudough scheme
until the end of the financial year.
Social Media
Predominantly lo increase interest and bookings at our hubs. we also began to be more active
on social media. It is important to raise our profile so Ihat we are more visible to our
customers. new clients and to our funder5 and supporters. We established an Inslagram
a¢counl, updated our Facebook pages. and developed a brand pack lo enable us to produce
eye catching and effective social media posts and stories. We aso continued to update and
revamp our website, ensuring thal infonnation was acceSSb￿ and user friendly to our
customers.

Organssational Development
The Covid-19 pandemic continued to have an impact on the need and demand for our support
from local voluntary and community organisations. Th8 predominant area of support
ontinued to be furidraising
th groups stnjggling to fin¢J grants and funding for their
seNices, particularly those thal were not Covid-19 related. A si9nificant nurnber of funders
ontinued to priorit15e front line and crisis support for those experiencing Covid related
cha118nges. However, with groups seeking to develop longer term. sustainable serviGes,
many reported difficulties in finding funding sources for non-covid relaled seNices. We have
seen a rèduction overall in funding available to the sector - ￿th a combination of funders
pausing their grants programmes. less funding available. sh(Jter funding terms and smaller
awards being made. This trend is expected to continue for some time lo come- and we also
anlicipale that grants to address the increasing cost of IivifKJ c￿$1$ will replace Covid-19
support in due course.
A key element of our organisalional development support is the provision of 'capacity
building". Capacity building is essentially about developing an organisation to a point where
it is, and is seen to be SUC￿ssful and sustainable and includes a myriad of different thin9S.
from having the right organisational structure. to policy and management, finance.
communications and marketing and planning and flexibility and so on. We have begun to
develop a clear 5 stage process to support groups lo understand what areas they need to
work on, and together with training and 1-2-1 support, pul in p￿ce a dear plan to develop
and strengthen their organisation.
Stage 1= Our organi5ation is fonnally established and
Constituted
Stage 2". This organisation has Èfle¢tive Governance in place
that focuses on what is being achieved and what will be
achieved in the future
Siage 3.. The organisation is well netwothed and recognised
locally
Stage 4: This organisation manage5 its finances effectively
and understands it5 funding plans for it to progress further
Stage 5.. The organisation is managing resources effectively
and efficiently and can adapt to change.
Enterprlse support
During 21-22, we continued lo produce a monthly business newsletter, but did not have
much lake up of the business support offered at Freston Road Hub. For the most part, this
was due to the ongoing uncertainly around Covid-19. and a rehjctance of many to return lo
office based work and aclivities. We have continued to ty Io feach out to new audiences,
primarily through social media, but have not had a signrficant lake up of our offers and
services during this year. Addressing this wll be a priority for Ihe next financial year. The
organisalional development process outlined above can be equally applied to supporting
the development of small businesses and entrepreneurs. and we wll be rolling out this
inilialive from Fre51on Road Hub during 22-23.

For the year ended 31 March 2022
Community Organising
Our community organising service continued lo work directly wilh local residents. Whi151 at
the beginning of the year. clients were reluclant to engage face tl face. this did begin lo ease
after July, once all social distancing requirements were lifted.
For the majority of clients. the longer temi impact of Covid-19. particularfy around mentsl
health needs. together wtlh worrying increases in the cost of INing were the main issues that
residents raised. The Community Organiser engaged with over 500 residents during the
year, and supported new groups to start, including the development of a new local Tenants
& R8sid8nts organsialion, and ￿ community leadefs from IheAfrican Caribbean communrty
setting up organisalions in the north of the borough, and another establishing a dimate
change action project.
Looking forward
The most pressing priority for the year ahead is to generale and raise fvnds - both through
increased use of our hubs, and through fundraising activities. We have grven ourselves a
largel of submitting a minimum of 10 good quality funding applications throughout the year,
and a target of increasing both desk and room hire income at Dawes Road Hub in particular.
We intend to develop new approaches to reaching customers for room and space hire
working through intermediary organisalions whose role it is to rnatch clienls to available
spaces. We need to ensure our meeting rooms are equipped to accommodate "hybrid"
meetings, where attendees participate both in person and virtually. and will need lo fundraise
to improve our facilities al both hubs for Ihis. With the ernergence of every increasing
competitors for office Spa￿ and meeting rooms. we will need to ensure that we market the
USP of our hubs and price ourselves competitively.
Funding for infrastructure, or 2rAI tier services has always been difficult to secure. as funders
typically prefer to resource front line services. We expect this fccus to continue Sobus wll
need lo prioiitise creative fundraising approaches. including developing collaborative bids
with other organisation5 to ensure our sustainability and fLrture (Yevelopment.
We anticipate that our main grant from the London Borough d Hammersmith & Fulham will
be re-tendered during 22-23, and staff will need to ensure that we are positioned lo both
support the local VCS Ihrough this process, as well as develop our own persuasive and
innovative bid which responds to the priorities and values of the local authority. The council
is committed lo coproducing the approach to this, and Sobus will (x)nlinue to support this
process.
