About KiNDly Connect CIC
We are a community interest company providing inclusive, neuro-affirming support for children, young people, and families across North West England. Our work is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and grounded in NICE best practice.
KiNDly Connect was founded by Kim Williams - an IAPT-trained specialist clinician with over 15 years in Early Help, Children's Services, and therapeutic practice, and a parent of a child with autism. That combination of clinical expertise and lived experience is at the heart of everything we do.
KiNDly Connect has been designed as a seamless, whole-family pathway that provides the right support at the right time. Through our Community Interest Company (CIC), families can access free, early intervention and preventative services, building trusted relationships with professionals before needs escalate.
