The centre is part of what was the Brian Jackson Yorkshire Children’s Centre, renamed as Fresh Futures Huddersfield in January 2024. The service is located in a large well-appointed building centrally located with a high standard of provision and access to many complementary services for children and families in the same building.

The building is a large converted warehouse with the reception and a spacious waiting area on the ground floor and two large family time rooms in the basement and on the first floor.
