We believe that most people want to include those who have been excluded and marginalised, but don\u2019t always know how to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);font-size:20px\">We set up TEOM because we believe that the best way to be successful at inclusion is to involve your community from the very start. Within each individual is a wealth of knowledge about what their needs are and how these can best be met. TEOM connects people with lived experience, to organisations who would like to use this expertise to inform their projects, policies and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f32266 e-con e-atomic-element e-flexbox-base\" data-id=\"1f32266\" data-element_type=\"e-flexbox\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-interaction-id=\"1f32266\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-id=\"1f32266\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<img class=\"e-image-base \" \n\t\t\t\t\tdata-interaction-id=\"a4bb25a\" \n\t\t \n\t\t data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"a4bb25a\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tid=\"505\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.theexpertonmyself.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Lizzie-and-Kristy-2.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"2048\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\theight=\"1365\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.theexpertonmyself.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Lizzie-and-Kristy-2.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.theexpertonmyself.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Lizzie-and-Kristy-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theexpertonmyself.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Lizzie-and-Kristy-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.theexpertonmyself.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Lizzie-and-Kristy-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.theexpertonmyself.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Lizzie-and-Kristy-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Expert On Myself (TEOM) is a Community Interest Company in Cambridgeshire, helping people speak and organisations listen.
