With over three decades of dedicated service in the youth and community field, Saboor brings a wealth of experience and a passion for empowering individuals and communities alike. Currently employed at Bradford Youth Service, he has had the privilege of witnessing countless individuals grow and flourish overcoming huge barriers in their lives. Beyond the confines of my professional life, he finds solace and joy in the simple pleasures of home. Nestled with his young family, he immerses himself in the tranquillity of their garden oasis where they grow their own produce surrounded with a delightful company of our parrots. For moments of respite and rejuvenation, you'll often find Saboor by the riverside or out at sea, indulging in the timeless pursuit of fishing. There, amidst the gentle lull of the water and the vast expanse of the horizon, he finds peace and solitude and a time for reflection.
