Name: Kyle Simmons
Age: 23
Year of the Fix: 2009
Location: Essex
Campaign: To stop others from taking the path that leads to drink and drugs

I went into care when I was three-years-old and spent my childhood moving between 14 different placements in care homes and foster families.  It was a very difficult time and I felt extremely isolated. I was a young black boy who was in care and everyone seemed to look down on me which really hurt.

 

I was sent to therapy so that I could talk about my feelings but it didn’t work because I didn’t think they could help; they hadn’t been through what I was going through so how could they help?

 

I started drinking a long time before I was legally allowed too, and began to take a cocktail of drugs from weed and cocaine to E’s. It started to destroy my mind and I got to the point where I was getting hallucinations even when I wasn’t high. 

 

A lot of young people in care turn to drink and drugs, but it doesn’t help, it only makes things worse. I looked at my life and decided that taking drugs and drinking everyday was not getting me anywhere.  I was lucky that I was able to stop.  What really helped was expressing myself through dance, music and acting, and I eventually managed to get into the prestigious East 15 Acting School at the age of 19.

 

As a Fixer I created a music video for my track ‘Keep Dreaming’. It's about trying to achieve your dreams in life no matter where you’ve come from and I want it to inspire other young people growing up in care.

 

Since then, I've graduated with a BA (Hons) in Physical Theatre.  I've worked in theatre and TV/film, as well as writing and producing my own music. I was shortlisted for a Spirit of London Award, and am involved in the political arena, helping change legislation in Parliament and speaking at Westminster. I am an Ambassador for the Care Leavers Foundation, Care Leavers Association, The SOLA Foundation and Speaker Box.

June 2011

Following my Fixers project, I have gone on to become a singer and actor. One of my appearances was on Newsround where I talked to the team behind CBBC series Tracy Beaker about the realities of growing up in care.

I was also featured on the Big Summer Fix where I spoke about my project and performed my song. You can watch the video by clicking here.
