Huddersfield Pride Ltd began back in 1995 working as a partnership organisation ensuring that local people and local organisations were at the forefront Huddersfield’s regeneration and had a real and sustainable role in implementing it.
The company was led by a Board of Directors that included representatives from many of Huddersfield’s local communities, including; local community organisations, local businesses, Kirklees Council, the University of Huddersfield, Huddersfield Technical College, the Mid-Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Kirklees Council for Voluntary Service and Kirklees Racial Equality Council.
Sub-groups of the Board worked on a more intimate level with those programmes that focused on specific social or geographical areas. This allowed relevant local experts to steer Huddersfield’s regeneration and bring many people from many different areas together, working in partnership to achieve regeneration.
The Company managed funds to ensure that the strategic objectives and associated outputs were met. The delivery of many projects was "subcontracted" to delivery agencies who were mostly also funding partners. This approach was important to ensure the company achieved its investment targets and it helped to make the public funding stretch further.
