What a Q2 for us all!

I often think most of us feel the same way in that we can’t believe we are more than halfway through this year and wonder where the time went.

The start of Q2 was very eventful, not only for us in the marketing team but everyone globally, with the tariff trade wars (Trump Tariffs) which caused volatility in the markets. When this happened, our number one priority was to communicate with our clients, offering reassurance that markets will recover and stabilise and that their investments were in good hands with Warwick Wealth.

We sent an email which included insightful videos featuring our MDs and Directors, on what was happening.

If you would like to go back and view any YouTube videos to learn more about the markets as well as what we are doing at the Spirit Foundation, here are the links:

We continue to deliver publications that add value and are meaningful to our readers, ensuring they are always informed and up to date with what is happening with their investments as well as our foundation (for those who support Spirit Foundation and want to know what impact their contribution is making).

Speaking of the Foundation, our social media pages are blowing up with excitement around the Spirit International Football Academy (SIFA) and how well the SIFA team has been playing. So far for 2025, they have been unbeatable!  At the end of January we started our dedicated SIFA Facebook page which now has nearly 800 followers (at the time of writing this article) and growing at a rapid rate. If you haven’t already, you may want to follow the SIFA Facebook and Instagram pages so you don’t miss any of the action. 

Furthermore, it was our yearly Spirit Foundation Feet4Fees event which was not only enjoyed by those who signed up for the day but also our staff. Personally, I can’t wait for next year where we walk for change supporting this great event where the proceeds go to the Spirit Foundation to make a meaningful impact and difference in education.

If you haven’t visited the Spirit Foundation website for a while, you’re in for a treat. We have added more causes that we are now supporting. In Wildlife, it is SANCCOB (the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds), a registered non-profit organisation with the primary objective to reverse the decline of seabird populations through the rescue, rehabilitation and release of ill, injured, abandoned and oiled seabirds – especially critically endangered species like the African penguin.

Not forgetting our international friends, we are now also supporting FUN (Families United), a charity focused upon supporting disabled children and their families by offering a range of inclusive FUN activities, meet-ups, social events and more.

Worried you are going to miss out on the latest news – feel free to subscribe to our WhatsApp channel on our websites and you’ll receive our digital publications and more.

I’d like to thank the marketing team for all their hard work in the first half of this year. We work hard but we always have time for a few laughs 😁! And, to our readers, thank you for your support and I look forward to giving you another update from us in marketing later in the year.

Kind regards,
Athena
