What is Purpl?

1 min readUpdated 5 August 2026

Purpl is a disabled-led UK membership and community created to help disabled people and people living with long-term health conditions save money.

Purpl was founded by Georgina, who has multiple sclerosis and ADHD. She came up with the idea in 2022 after realising that groups such as NHS workers, students and carers could access dedicated discounts, while disabled people were often left out - despite facing some of the biggest financial pressures because of the extra cost of living with a disability.

Members can access discounts from a wide range of brands, including savings on everyday shopping, food, travel, homeware, technology, health products and days out. 

Purpl also provides helpful guides, support via the member's only group and the Purpl Community Grand Fund.

Our aim is to help members save money, feel represented and be part of a supportive community that puts disabled people first.


Why does Purpl verify members?

Purpl is a closed membership community created specifically for disabled people and those living with long-term health conditions.

Verification helps us:

  • Protect the community from people who are not eligible
  • Keep member-only discounts within the disabled community
  • Give brands confidence that their offers are reaching the people they are intended to support
  • Reduce the risk of discount codes being copied or shared publicly
  • Secure better and more exclusive offers for Purpl members

Brands need reassurance that Purpl checks eligibility properly. Without verification, it would be much harder for us to negotiate meaningful disability discounts.
