Social Work Club

Who Are We

The Social Work Club of Thames International College (SWCT) is one of the oldest clubs established and has been working relentlessly to promote volunteerism within the students and raise awareness on various social issues. Their annual fundraising events like Rose Day and Christmas Bazaar gives students a platform to explore their ideas to support communities in need.

A notable event organized by SWCT on World Social Work Day is the Social Work Symposium. This flagship event of Thames houses panel discussions, workshops, photo exhibitions, and guided tours revolving around a set theme for that particular year.

From the President

Warm greetings to all,

I am Sambhavi Timilsina, a Social Sciences student at Thames International College, and I am honored to be the President of the Social Work Club of Thames (SWCT) for the 2025/2026 tenure. From my first year on campus, I remember looking at the club with hope and curiosity, wanting to be part of something meaningful without fully knowing where that desire would lead. As I became more involved and engaged with real social realities, that curiosity gradually grew into a genuine commitment, especially as I explored social work alongside psychology and began to understand people beyond textbooks.

As one of the oldest clubs on campus, SWCT is guided by values of empathy, inclusivity, social justice, and community engagement. The club believes that “The greatest impact comes from lifting others,” a principle that continues to guide how we work together and contribute meaningfully to society.

So far, this tenure has been a rewarding journey, from organizing fundraising activities to planning our upcoming social action project. I have learned the importance of working with a diverse group of people, listening to different perspectives, and supporting each other. I have also discovered the value of stepping out of our comfort zones, engaging more actively with communities, and applying what I’ve learned in the classroom to real social causes , helping me grow both personally and professionally.

I hope to continue collaborating with my team and the wider community, creating a space where every voice is valued. I look forward to seeing our vision come alive, guiding our members and the campus community.
