Supporting Individuals To Start Again

From people who understand and will never judge

Exit Hate was created by former ERW (Extreme Right-Wing) political activists, so we know what it’s like to feel disillusioned and seek solace in extremist politics, seeking answers.

But after having various doubts, eventually, we walked away from extremism, and today we have rebuilt our lives, and now focus on ourselves, our families and the communities we live in.

If you're thinking about changing the way you live your life,
then why not register as a site member and head over to our online support programme?

Just click on Module 1 - Individuals, and you will be directed to a member sign-up page, and then once registered, you will be able to gain access to our online support programme
and work through it at your own pace, at any time of the day, which suits you.

Offering support to people, we have moved away from individual 121 mentoring support
to an online support programme, so people don't have to worry about appointments and can get guidance when they have time and feel comfortable.

By doing this, you can get the guidance you need, and we can support more people and continue to create more resources for people.

Additionally, you can also follow our dedicated Facebook support page, where we have listed multiple support links and post occasionally - https://www.facebook.com/exithatetrust/

Offering email support, you can ask one-off questions via email by emailing - info@exithate.org
Here, one of the volunteer team members will respond to you as soon as they can.

We are engaging with more people than ever before,
So response times can vary; please be patient.
Volunteers give their time for free, and this is limited, so please do not expect an immediate response.

For more in-depth support and to speak to someone, please call Act Early on 0800 011 3764. This service operates 24 hours a day. For more details, please visit - https://actearly.uk/

NOT the Police, we NEVER judge, and believe, if you want to, it is possible to leave extremism,
but you have to want to do this and decide - enough is enough and walk away.

Seeking to empower people to change, we offer an online support programme, a listening ear and will engage with people via email for short-term support.

For clarification, Exit Hate offers support to people who want to walk away from extremism.
we are not here to debate or engage with people still supportive and committed
to any form of extremism.

How We Work

At Exit Hate, we treat everyone as an individual and look beyond labels.

Our guidance comes from a place of lived experience. We do not tell you what to do, but outline alternatives, so you can make your own decisions, which suit you.

Believing all extremism is wrong and harms everyone - the victims of hate, those involved and their families - we want to help people walk away from involvement and support families to better understand why people get involved and how to support them.

We provide guidance via our online support programme and dedicated Facebook support page, which lists lots of various links to multiple support agencies.

You can also email us one-off questions via email. But this support is limited, depending on those engaging with us at any one time and the number of volunteers we have working. Our normal working hours are 10-4 PM Monday to Friday, but our team works flexibly, so reply times may vary.

NOT an emergency service, our support is different coming from a place of lived experience, so we never judge, just support and aim to empower as many people as possible to walk away from extremism and build a life away from danger and hate, so people can concentrate on themselves, their families and the communities we live in, creating positive, local change.

If you have a question that isn't answered on our website, then please get in touch.

Email us at: info@exithate.org and we will respond as soon as we can.

Your Questions Answered

We often get asked similar questions about who we are and how we work so here are some quick answers to get you started. If you want to know more, send us an email and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can, Exit is a small charity, run by a dedicated team of part-time staff and mainly volunteers, so our response times can vary, but we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Can we trust you? Quite simply, yes. Everyone involved in Exit is either a former activist, a family member who has had a loved one involved or is someone who supports people out of the extreme right-wing. We do this because we care.

Everything is in confidence, and the only time we would share information with anyone else

is if we thought someone was going to harm themselves or others

Will you judge me? Never. We’re not here to debate your views or politics, only to help you make a fresh start if you want. We’ve spent years being judged ourselves, so the last thing we’re going to do is judge anyone else.

How can you help? We offer lived experience guidance. Understanding that people become involved for many reasons, we know how hard it can be to either want to leave or have a loved one involved. To help, we offer an online support programme, registered site members at - www.exithate.com can go through and gain lived experience guidance from people who have been through this.

Offering links via a dedicated Facebook support page at - https://www.facebook.com/exithatetrust/

We also offer one-off answers via email if people cannot find an answer on our website.

Listening to service users, this approach has been developed with them, so people can go through things at their own pace, and there is no pressure or time restrictions as there was previously with our 121 mentoring service.

Are you the police? No, we’re not, and we won’t report you to the Police for contacting us. Helping you is our main priority, but if you discuss planning anything violent, we have a duty of care to report this in order to safeguard you and society at large.

Seeking to reduce extremism, we advocate education, compassion and understanding as the best ways to help people see things differently and walk away from extremism.

We believe all violence and extremism is wrong, and there has to be a better way to solve the problems the world is facing today.

Are you Antifa? No, we are against ALL extremism and violence, because extremism and violence achieve nothing. We are completely non-political and while we are against racism, hatred and division, we believe the best way to solve problems is to sit down,

look at the problems in society and look for solutions together.

Will you help me if I'm still involved? Yes, of course. We believe everyone is on a journey, and we’re here to help, no matter what group you’re involved with or support. All we need you to do is want to walk away from extremism, and commit to following any advice offered

and be honest.

OK, I want to leave. What's the next step? The process is different for everyone.

There are many options. including - support via Prevent, help from people at school, college, and uni, or you can get guidance from Exit Hate.

Seeking to empower people to change, we offer guidance, not instructions and believe it's better for people to decide their own paths, than be told what to do, as everyone is different.

While we don’t pretend that leaving is easy, we will help you as much as we can to leave for good

To start, have a look at your options, decide which one is best for you and reach out to someone.
