Hi @sheannie, welcome to the community. Are you on any benefits at the moment?

If you receive help with your housing costs through Universal Credit or Housing Benefit, you may be able to apply for a Discretionary Housing Payment from your local council. This can often be used to help with deposits or moving costs.

Applying for a Discretionary Housing Payment - GOV.UK

You could also look into whether there are any grants available. Turn2Us have a search tool:

Hope that's helpful ☺️

Hopefully it comes through in time @sheannie. If you're on Universal Credit you could also look in to getting a budgeting advance. This would need to be paid back from your payments over time, but might help with some of your costs:

If you're on Pension Credit or Income-related ESA there's a similar service offering budgeting loans:
