TALK TO SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS AND WON'T JUDGE
Exit Hate is a charity made of former ERW (Extreme Right-Wing) political activists who know what it’s like to feel disillusioned and seek solace in extremist politics. Having started to have 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.
NOT the Police, we NEVER judge.
If you're thinking about changing the way you live your life, then please get in touch, we are NOT the Police and we NEVER judge, and we 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.
Honestly, it's not easy, but we’re here to help you every step of the way and while others may walk away, we won't.
With you every step of the way, Exit is here for as long as you need us. All you have to do, is get in touch.

ABOUT US
|
Set up with a simple aim of helping people leave the Extreme Right-Wing (ERW), Exit UK was set up in 2017 by Nigel Bromage and a small group of Formers, who had all been involved in various ERW organisations. Having rebuilt our lives and begun to have children of our own, we realised how much easier leaving extremism would have been if there’d been an organisation to help us and this is exactly why Exit was set up.
Since becoming a non-profit community interest company we have worked with hundreds of people and we are committed to providing first-hand, support and advice. Now a charity, we operate as Exit Hate UK, charity number 1197666 and are staffed mainly by volunteers and part-time staff, dedicated to helping people from a lived experience perspective. |
NON JUDGEMENTAL - we aren’t aligned to any political movement and are here because we don't want people to waste years of their life, like we have. When you talk to us, everything you say will be treated in confidence and as we have been there ourselves, we will take things at your pace, without any pressure.

AS FORMER POLITICAL ACTIVISTS WE GET IT AND UNDERSTAND
|
EXTREMISM IS NEVER THE ANSWER Still patriotic, we believe patriotism is about Place NOT Race and honour ALL those who have served our country. Seeking to help people walk away from extremism, while we understand your views, we believe ALL forms of extremism and ANY form of violence is wrong and solves nothing. |

HOW WE WORK - EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT
At Exit we treat everyone as an individual. We listen, find out what is happening and provide support if we can. Engaging over the phone or meeting up online. Then once you connect with us, we will offer a course of mentoring sessions and after care support, so no-one is alone, and everyone is valued.

STEP 1 - MAKE CONTACT - We know people take a big step when you contact us and maybe worried about all kinds of things, including whether you can trust us or not. That's fine, we get it and to make things feel better we offer a number of ways to get in touch. If you are really worried (and that is fine) you can contact us using an anonymous email address, that's no problem or you can send us a message via Facebook or you can call us, whichever way you feel comfortable. All our contact points are listed at the bottom of this webpage, so please pick one you feel most at ease with and get in touch today.
STEP 2 - CONNECT - No matter where you live in the UK, you can talk to us. We offer free, non-judgmental support online, by email, text or via the phone. After you get in touch, we’ll reach out and have a confidential chat. This will help us get to know each other, find out what you need help with and see if we are right for you, then if it works, we can work together to make a plan and support you however we can.
STEP 3 - MOVE FORWARD - Once we’ve connected and we have a clearer picture of your needs, we will then see how we can help. We’ll create a long-term plan offering you support, both emotionally and practically.
This can include - 121 mentoring support, help to get your extreme right-wing tattoos covered or assist you to rebuild relationships with family and friends, who may have created some distance, because of your views. After you have received our mentoring support, you can also sign up to our KIT Programme, which stands for Keep In Touch. Here we leave the door open for you and touch base 3 times a year - April, August and December. Supported by us, you don't have to do this, but if you want to, we will catch up with you 3 times a year.
So do you fancy a chat or need some advice? Don't worry, you aren't on your own and we will be around for as long as you need us. Just get in touch and lets start your journey.
PEOPLE CAN CHANGE AND HERES HOW.......................
Showcasing how people get support, we have created a number of videos that outline people's stories and show people can change and all they need is a little bit of help. The stories are based on the words of people we have helped leave the far right. Names have been changed and to protect the identity of those who we’ve worked with, we have used actors to play the characters we have supported.

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 volunteers, so our response times can vary, but we will get back to you.
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 someone who mentors people out of the extreme right-wing, so we get it.
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 where you are at and what’s worrying you. We know many people who join the cause are passionate about their country, and are neither violent or a Nazi. 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 hear you out, find out your issues and offer some alternatives if needed. As we move on, we will look at different options and support you to walk away from extremism and start again if you want. It won't be easy, but it is possible, all you have to do is commit to getting support and we will help you.
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. Violence is never the answer.
Are you Antifa? No, we are against ALL extremism and violence, because extremism and violence achieve nothing. We are completly non-political and while we are against racism, hatred and division, we believe the best way to solve any concerns 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, commit to the support you are 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 adapt to help you, as we want you to leave for good.
