Purpl in the News
At Purpl Discounts, we’re proud to be recognised as the UK’s leading community for disabled discounts, shopping savings, mobility offers, and accessible travel deals. We put the disabled community first by working closely with top national brands to secure valuable disability specific discounts and everyday savings.
In addition, our mission goes further than discounts alone, as we highlight the true value of the Purple Pound and social benefits of supporting disabled people

Purpl in the Media
From our exclusive Morrisons partnership, which helps disabled people save on weekly essentials through Purpl disabled discounts, to awareness campaigns that have reached more than one million views on TikTokTikTok, and in addition to the growing media coverage that continues to highlight our mission, Purpl is creating both practical savings and lasting social impact.
Our work, together with the story of our founder, has been featured in major UK outlets such as the Daily Express, The Mirror, Daily Record, iNews, The Telegraph, MSN News, HuffPost and many others. These features show how Purpl is helping to reduce the extra costs of living with a disability while also stressing the importance of building a fairer and more inclusive society.
Moreover, this expanding media recognition demonstrates how our campaigns are raising vital awareness of accessibility and inclusion, while at the same time underlining the real economic and social value of the Purple Pound.
