Huddersfield Pride Ltd., is a partnership company with representatives from the community, voluntary sector, businesses, local authority sectors and the TEC. It has a £53 million budget over 7 years (£12.7 million from Single Regeneration Budget (SRB)) to spend on regenerating the Huddersfield area. The SRB area is home to 25,000 people and provides 37,500 jobs.

A Town Centre Management Steering Group has been set up to oversee the introduction of initiatives to revive Huddersfield town centre. Initial projects include making pedestrian areas 'people friendly', brightening up key buildings and organising promotional events. Huddersfield Pride has also prepared a strategy for reusing redundant mills. It funds feasibility studies and then provides a grant or rental guarantee of up to £100,000 to make a renovation project viable.
