Launched during the COVID-19 pandemic, Sliderstock emerged as a powerful solution for charities and local businesses to continue reaching their funding goals despite challenging times. What began as a response to an urgent need quickly grew into a versatile online platform that has since become integral to events across the country.
Today, we’re thrilled to celebrate four impactful years of Sliderstock and look back on how this journey began, where we are now, and what the future holds.
A Vision Born Out of Necessity
Sliderstock’s story began in partnership with Impulse Decisions, with our initial project, "Shop Local." This campaign provided a much-needed digital marketplace to support independent businesses in Harrogate, helping them stay connected with customers online. Through Shop Local, businesses could sell their products in a virtual space while consumers shopped locally—safely and conveniently. This marked Sliderstock’s early steps toward becoming a go-to resource for online fundraising.
Will F., Director of Fundraising, reflects:
"It was incredible to see how quickly Sliderstock evolved from a simple idea into a platform that could make a real difference for local businesses and charities. The need was urgent, and we knew we could make an impact."
