Juliet founded PL9 on the 10th of May, 2013 after the sudden death of her only Son Philip Lamin, on the 5th of February 2013.
PL9 was initially set up to support Philip friends in their grief and loss of their friend. “My goal then, was to create an atmosphere where they could grieve positively.” Soon it became a place where young people from 17 different colleges and a wide range of communities would come together and talk about their different challenges. PL9 has since grown into a community project for young people and young adults. Many have left home for universities across the nation, completed their studies and have returned with a desire to give back to their communities.

“My motivation is to use this privilege position of trust afforded to me by the young people, to be a leader who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.”

Through PL9 and many other projects, Juliet raises awareness on the issue of sudden cardiac arrest which claimed Philip’s life, and continues to claim the lives of 12 young people every week in the UK.

Juliet is also a writer and author. Her works include:
