Hi,

Family fund maybe a good place to start. All the information is here in this link. https://www.familyfund.org.uk/faqs/how-do-we-apply

 Are you also claiming tax credits? If so, do they know your child claims DLA because there's a disability element of child tax credits which gives extra money.
