I am going through this myself and so it will be interesting & helpful to hear what others can suggest... My own advice would be to contact your local council housing department AND adult social services... I also completed a form online via my local council asking for all of the assistance that I need. They are currently assessing my needs and so I'm waiting to hear back from them... There doesn't seem to be ANY charities which can help, but subject to your own financial means you may be entitled to help with moving costs, and again your council is the place to ask. I know many people say this, but if all else fails visit the Citizens Advice Bureau and they will point you in the right direction.
Need anymore information please ask
Local Councils often have allocated funds to assist people in urgent need so it may be worth getting in touch with them to ask if they can help.
Do you have any friends or family who you could call on to help?

You can google or if you know the name, visit the website directly or call/email the vicar. At our church, there is a box for requests.
