About PL9
PL9, Founded in a Memory of a Young Man
Philip was an avid football fan, devoted and passionate to the Arsenal Football Club since he was two years old. Prior to his death, Philip was scouted to play football for Fulham’s under-16 team.Philip was playing soccer with his friends on the 5th of FEBRUARY 2013 when he scored a goal and collapsed. His friends were perplexed as to why, and they immediately requested assistance. After receiving the emergency call, an ambulance was dispatched almost immediately. Philip was rushed to the hospital, where doctors did everything they could to save his life, but sadly, he did not survive. This was a heartbreaking moment for his family and friends, especially his mother Juliet Lamin, who raised him alone.
Philip was also a student at the Bexleyheath Academy, so he had many friends from both Bexley and London. It was no surprise that his untimely death left a large void in the lives of his friends, who, at that point began travelling to his home in Belvedere, London Borough of Bexley, daily.

How PL9 Founded
PL9, How We Formed
It was during this gathering of approximately 20 to 25 young people at his home that the idea of forming a youth group in his memory at a location where they could meet and receive grief support arose. The group’s original goal of assisting Philip’s friends in positively grieving quickly evolved into a platform for raising awareness about cardiac diseases among the young people aged 14 to 35 who die each week of sudden cardiac death.
The support group evolved into a weekly gathering of Bexley youths meeting to discuss other issues affecting their generation. PL9 has since grown into a larger platform for youths, with students from 17 different schools visiting our project in Nando Bexleyheath. Following the event, each attendee youth participates in a variety of discussions and is provided with food and beverages.

Our Awareness
PL9 Goals and Plans For Awareness
Philip’s mother believes that if there was sufficient awareness of cardiac risks in children and defibrillators in public places such as schools, sports centers, and churches, the chances of surviving cardiac arrest would be increased significantly. Juliet Lamin has spent the last eight years tirelessly raising awareness and campaigning for defibrillators to be placed in all schools and public places with this goal in mind. She is also advocating for free heart screenings for young athletes who may have an underlying heart defect, in order to detect it prior to a serious incident that could result in death, as happened with her son.
Juliet stated that if a heart screening exercise had been conducted when Philip was scouted, she would have prevented him from continuing to participate in sports until he received medical treatment. She believes that if her son’s school had a defibrillator and his classmates had been taught how to perform CPR, her son might have survived. This is why a portion of the PL9 campaign is dedicated to raising funds to purchase defibrillators for placement in each secondary school in the community.
Juliet also encourages parents to ensure their teenagers undergo heart screenings and schools to invest in defibrillators and yearly heart screenings. This early heart screening can aid in the early detection and treatment of any heart disease.
It is frequently said that it is better to be safe than sorry.
Our Achievements
Our Achievement & Success Stories
PL9 assisted in the organization of ‘Woolwich Youth Together Community Cohesion,’ which was featured in the ‘Flatline’ documentary to raise national awareness of sudden cardiac arrest by emphasizing the importance of heart screening for all young people aged 14-35 and making defibrillators free and accessible in all schools and public places.
PL9 participated in a memorial football match organized by Bexleyheath Academy (B.A.) in February 2014, raising over £7,000 for the Academy to conduct two full days of cardiac screening and donating defibrillators to the Academy.
Additionally, they took part in a 12-mile walk around London for C.R.Y. (Cardiac Risk in the Young), raising over £5,709.00 to support ongoing research.
Fundraising efforts have raised over £30,000 to date for the installation of defibrillators in various schools, churches, and sports centers throughout the Borough of Bexley and other parts of London.
The PL9 has been recognized by the Secretary of State for the NHS, as well as two additional community impact awards.
