It offers financial support to Purpl members with disabilities or long term health conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applications open on 1 April 2026. However, we limit each round, and we will select successful applicants in early July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Living with a disability or long term health condition often brings extra costs. These costs are not always visible. More importantly, existing support does not always cover them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, people often need mobility equipment, therapy, or accessibility adaptations. As a result, they have to cover these costs themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although support exists in the UK, it is not always enough. In some cases, it is hard to access. In others, it does not reflect real, everyday needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of this, we created the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purpldiscounts.com\/disability-grants-uk\">Purpl Community Grant Fund<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the start, Purpl has aimed to do more than help people save money. Instead, the goal has always been to give back through practical support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, we have always had a bigger vision. That vision is to build a foundation to support disabled people and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the Purpl Community Grant Fund is the first step in that journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this fund, we provide financial support to members and their families. This support helps with essential needs, increases independence, and improves wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applications open on 1 April 2026. However, places are limited, so apply early to avoid missing out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Purpl grows, our impact will grow too. Ultimately, the goal is to deliver long lasting support for disabled people across the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-contents\">Contents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#h-what-is-the-purpl-community-grant-fund\">What is the Purpl Community Grant Fund?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#h-when-can-you-apply\">When can you apply?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#h-what-support-can-the-purpl-fund-provide\">What support can the Purpl Fund provide?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#h-who-can-apply\">Who can apply?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#h-how-the-application-process-works\">How the application process works<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#h-how-funding-is-allocated\">How funding is allocated<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#h-important-things-to-know\">Important things to know<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#h-frequently-asked-questions-faqs-about-the-purpl-fund\">Frequently asked questions (FAQs)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#h-in-summary\">In Summary<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-purpl-community-grant-fund-purpl-fund\">What is the Purpl Community Grant Fund (Purpl Fund)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We created the Purpl Community Grant Fund to provide practical financial support for disabled people and families across the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that living with a disability or long term health condition often brings extra costs.
