HEALTHY LIVING CENTRES ALLIANCE LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF HEALTHY LIVING CENTRES ALLIANCE LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Healthy Living Centres Alliance Limited (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 30 June 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 30 June 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ~~.~~
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law ~~.~~ Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report ~~.~~ We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion ~~.~~
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate ~~.~~
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue ~~.~~
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF HEALTHY LIVING CENTRES ALLIANCE LIMITED
Audit response to risks identified
Our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:
-
e Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
-
e Enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
e Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
-
e Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and reviewing correspondence with tax authorities; and
-
e In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non ~~-~~ compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. In addition, as with any audit, there remains a higher risk of non ~~-d~~ etection of irregularities, as they may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls ~~.~~ We are not responsible for preventing non ~~-~~ compliance and cannot be expected to detect non ~~-~~ compliance with all laws and regulations ~~.~~

If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves.

We have nothing to report in this regard ~~.~~

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE TRUSTEES OF HEALTHY LIVING CENTRES ALLIANCE LIMITED
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so ~~.~~
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion ~~.~~ Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists ~~.~~ Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements ~~.~~
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below ~~.~~

HEALTHY LIVING CENTRES ALLIANCE LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF HEALTHY LIVING CENTRES ALLIANCE LIMITED
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In identifying and assessing potential risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non ~~-~~ compliances with laws and regulations, we considered the following:
-
. The nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance, including the company’s remuneration policies for directors, bonus levels and performance targets, if any;
-
. Results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
-
. Any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the company’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to:
-
e Identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instance of non ~~-c~~ ompliance;
-
Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; and
-
The internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non ~~-~~ compliance with laws and regulations;
. The matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the company for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in revenue recognition. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override ~~.~~
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the Companies Act 2006, and local tax legislation.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty ~~.~~
