**Financial education charity Money4YOU has changed its name to The AVOCADO Foundation
to better reflect its commitment to cultivating financial wellbeing.**

The charity said that it had rebranded to The AVOCADO Foundation because rather 
than just providing money, it equips individuals with the tools and knowledge for
long-term financial success. The AVOCADO name symbolises the potential for financial
health and prosperity that The AVOCADO Foundation works to cultivate. It also resonates
with the communities the charity serves.

The rebrand started in April and was a collaborative effort, led by Money4YOU staff
and supported pro bono by graphic designer Upasna Prasad.
