This is the modern slavery and human trafficking statement of {{COMPANY_REGISTERED_NAME}}, made under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 for the financial year ending {{FINANCIAL_YEAR_END}}. It sets out the steps we have taken, and the further steps we are taking, to prevent modern slavery in our own operations and in our supply chains.
{{COMPANY_REGISTERED_NAME}} ({{COMPANY_REGISTERED_NUMBER}}) trades as Heatlhy Nation and is the consumer arm of The Healthy Group. Our operations are based in the United Kingdom and our employees, volunteers and coaches work in the UK only. The Healthy Group also operates the HG Apparel sub-brand, which produces branded kit and merchandise sold through our shop and supplied to partner programmes.
Our supply chain is small and concentrated in three areas:
We do not currently source goods from countries identified by the Global Slavery Index as high-risk for forced labour. Where a programme partner asks us to support an event that would require such sourcing, we decline.
Our internal policy framework relevant to modern slavery includes a supplier code of conduct, a whistleblowing policy with an external reporting channel, a recruitment policy that prohibits the charging of recruitment fees to candidates, and the safeguarding policy referenced in our safeguarding statement. All policies are reviewed annually.
Before we appoint a new supplier we ask them to sign our supplier code of conduct, share their own modern-slavery statement if they are required to publish one, and disclose any sub-contracting beyond first tier. For apparel manufacturers we require third-party social-compliance certification and the right to commission an unannounced audit at our cost.
We use the Global Slavery Index, the Walk Free Foundation typology, and sector-specific guidance from the Anti-Slavery Commissioner to map risk against our supply chain. Our highest residual risk sits in apparel manufacturing: even where mills are UK or EU based, raw cotton and synthetic fibre can travel through high-risk source regions. We treat fabric provenance as a separate due-diligence step.
Trustees, senior staff and members of the procurement team complete modern-slavery training within three months of appointment and refresh it every two years. Front-line coaches and volunteers receive a short briefing as part of induction so they can recognise the indicators of exploitation in the communities we work with: exposed, rather than hidden, since our programmes regularly bring us into contact with families under pressure.
We publish the prior-year numbers alongside the statement when it is refreshed each year.
This statement is reviewed annually, or sooner if our operations or supply chain change materially.
