Individual Support To Start Again

Talk To Someone Who Understands And Won't 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, away from hate 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 you can contact ACT Early for advice about how you can change the way you live, or you can talk to us.

If you would like to talk to people who have been activists themselves, then you can talk to us here at Exit Hate. Providing lived experience support, we offer a listening ear and can offer advice and signpost you to various services, depending on your needs.

We are NOT the Police and 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, text or phone, whichever you feel more comfortable with.

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. We listen, find out what is happening and provide advice/support if we can, including signposting people to services, depending on an individual's needs.

Offering a listening ear, we have an online support programme, which people can work through at your own pace and ask a dedicated support officer any questions you have, and they will reply to you via email.

Seeking to empower people to make changes in their lives to reduce the impact of extremism, we also have a dedicated Exit Hate Public Information Facebook Page which lists various professional and educational links for individuals, families and can be used by professionals helping someone walk away from extremism.

iTo find out more, please visit the page and follow to keep updated. For more information, go to: https://www.facebook.com/ExitHateHub/

To get in touch with us, please email: info@exithate.org

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.

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? Firstly, we’ll listen, so we understand you and what’s worrying you. We know many people who join the cause are passionate about our country.

Many join for reasons such as social justice, but before you know it, you’re drawn into a world of hatred and violence. To begin with, we’ll listen to you, find out your issues and then, if suitable offer people who want to, the opportunity to access our online support programme,

and allocate users a dedicated support officer who that can contact if they have any questions and they will respond via email within 5 working days.

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 yourself 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, and while we don’t pretend leaving is easy, we will help you as much as we can to leave for good.
