Surinder joined Friendship in 2001 due to her interest in equality and social justice issues. Having previously worked as an Advice and Community Worker at the Asian Resources Centre in Handsworth and currently teaching Sociology and Social Policy on Social Work and Social Policy courses at the University of Birmingham, Surinder has some knowledge about housing, social care and Equality developments over the years, as well as the impact of government policies and responses to social events and issues in general.
