This episode, Emma interviews the founder of Purpl, Georgina Colman! Being disabled is expensive. Purpl is working to offset the average £1,095 of additional costs disabled people spend per month by being the UK’s first discount platform built by disabled people, for disabled people.


Georgina Colman is the founder of Purpl, the UK’s first dedicated discount platform for disabled people. Living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and ADHD, she has a deep understanding of the financial and practical challenges that come with disability. Her mission is to help the disabled community offset these extra costs through exclusive discounts, while also ensuring people are aware of the benefits and services they’re entitled to. Through Purpl, she is building not just a savings platform, but a movement focused on empowerment, inclusion, and practical help for everyday life.
