Hi @jacquisue100, and a warm welcome to the community!

It may be worth having a look at the grants search on the Scope website, to see if there are any awards you may be eligible for. Really hope you find something and that the move goes well. Do keep in touch and let us know if we can be of further assistance!

Your local council maybe able to provide vouchers for carpets but this will depend on your circumstances. For this you'll need to contact your local council.

Do you receive any means tested benefits like ESA/ Income support? If so then there's a budgeting loan that you can apply for, providing you've been claiming either of those benefits for at least 26 weeks. If you claim universal credit then the loan is called "advance loan" and for this you need to have been claiming UC for 6 months. This loan needs to be repaid back and what you could borrow will depend on your circumstances.
