I want to move out but how can I afford?

I'm 33yrs old and still living at my parents place. There is a flat becoming available to rent in my town and it's almost £700 a month in rent. I work 30hrs a week at minimum wage and have some debt costing around £400pm to pay off. Would this even be possible to do? My parents haven't got much money at all but I can't stay here forever, it's driving me a bit insane. Can I get help with rent like UC or whatever it's called now? I can get people to help me with white goods etc, but its more the bills that I am worried about....Electric wont cost me much as when Im not in work I'm usually out and about. How do people afford to live on their own with debt?
