Benefitting from a western scholarships program through Western Chances, Mr Abidi told Jack O’Shea-Ayres about home life, education and learning. I now live in St Albans and work in the city in the tech industry. The ideal future is one where opportunity grows alongside that foundation, not in place of it. Where is your favourite local place to spend time? That is why I give back now, including volunteering back with Western Chances, as part of the subcommittee of the board.
