The Purpl Community Grant Fund

Get more than discounts. Get real support.

As a Purpl member, you can apply for grants of up to £2,000 to help with essential needs like mobility equipment, therapy, accessibility and more.

Support when you need it most – built into your membership.

Purpl Community Grant Fund
Applications open 1st April 2026

The Purpl Fund runs every quarter, giving members ongoing opportunities to apply. The first round opens on 1st April 2026, with successful applicants selected in early July 2026.

Limited Application Spaces

To ensure every application is reviewed properly and fairly, we limit the number of applications per round.

  • First round opening soon will be capped at 100 applications
  • Applications will close once this limit is reached
  • We recommend applying early to avoid missing out

As Purpl grows, we're able to reinvest more back into our member community through the Fund. Each quarter, we allocate a fund to support members based on need and impact – helping as many people as possible within the available budget.
