Event: Land's End to John O'Groats Cycle with Discover Adventure 2023, from 5 September 2023 to 17 September 2023
We raise awareness of cultic coercion to support victims and prevent cult abuse

Story

I was the victim of a cultic group that used the  techniques of coercive control. Having left this group I am now an organizational psychologist and podcaster exploring cults, how they work, how we can protect people and how we can balance genuine concern for freedom of belief, with the need to protect vulnerable people from exploitation and harm. My podcast is called Cult Hackers and is available on all podcast apps.

For this ride I am raising money for The Family Survival Trust to contribute to their work of supporting people, families, communities and societies abused by totalitarian cults as well as their work in the education of wider society about the risks of these groups.

About the charity

The Family Survival Trust works to prevent, and to provide information on coercive control, cultic behaviour and manipulation. We support those affected by groups that use these techniques. We educate about the risks these groups pose and seek appropriate controls on these groups’ activities.
