We are proud to announce our latest charity partnership with MS-UK<\/a>, a national charity dedicated to supporting people affected by multiple sclerosis (MS). Following our first successful partnership with the Spinal Injuries Association<\/a>, we\u2019re continuing our mission to give back to the disabled community and we\u2019re excited to work with MS-UK to help make a meaningful difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Personal Story Behind the Partnership<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Georgina Colman is the founder and CEO of Purpl Discounts and lives with MS, as a disabled woman, she understands the impact of social and financial barriers and this is why she started the UK\u2019s first disabled discount site. MS-UK is a charity close to her heart and so it was the natural partnership for Purpl to support for the next three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I\u2019m delighted to announce our charity partnership with MS UK. Supporting the disabled community is what Purpl is all about, and this partnership is a meaningful way for us to give back. From April 2025 to June 2025, we will donate 20% of funds raised through our promotional brand activity to MS-UK. I live with MS and charities like MS-UK are a lifeline to over 130,000 people in the UK who are living with MS, on average, that\u2019s about 1 in every 500 people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purpl saves our members money on your day to day spends, but we also create a community of understanding, support and awareness. Whether it is through our discounts<\/a>, our money guides<\/a> or our caring private members facebook group<\/a>, disabled people can trust Purpl, because we are part of your community too.<\/p>\nGeorgina, Founder & CEO of Purpl<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Why This Partnership Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Purpl, we believe in using our platform to drive positive change. Through this partnership, we\u2019ll be donating funds to MS-UK, helping them continue to offer these life-changing services to thousands of people across the UK. But it\u2019s about more than money, it\u2019s about connection, support, and amplifying the voices of those who need to be heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We are pleased to be partnering with Purpl to support the disabled community. Many people living with MS experience disability of some kind and we are pleased to be working together to help make a difference.<\/p>\nMS-UK <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What is MS?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)<\/a> is a chronic, lifelong condition that affects the central nervous system – specifically the brain and spinal cord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In MS, the body\u2019s immune system mistakenly attacks the protective layer (called myelin) that surrounds nerve fibres. This disrupts the way messages are sent along the nerves, causing a wide range of symptoms depending on where the damage occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common Symptoms include:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
