️ Save Julian Vince’s Life’s Work – Urgent £15,000 Goal to Prevent Total Loss

Julian Vince is a lifelong model maker and Doctor Who contributor whose quiet creativity has shaped our fandom for decades — even if you don’t know his name. His Daleks, models, and sets have appeared in countless books, magazines, and visual references across the Doctor Who universe, and now risk being lost forever.

Unless we act.

What’s Happening?

After years of hardship — including the loss of his family home, theft, abandonment by debtors, and mounting financial pressure — Julian is on the brink of losing everything he owns.

For years, he has been “living” in storage — the only way to safeguard decades of creative work. But the storage company has now given him a final extension, and unless £1,200 is raised immediately to move his models, tools, and materials, they will seize it all.

He urgently needs:

7 new storage units to house his life's work

Transport and manpower to move it

A safety buffer to survive the coming months and rebuild

Without help, it’s over.

What’s at Risk?

Julian’s collection includes:

Hand-built Dalek parts and models dating back to 1973

Custom props, workshop tools, and rare Doctor Who memorabilia

The entire creative infrastructure he used to contribute to the fandom

Once it’s gone — it’s gone for good.

Where Will the £15,000 Go?

Use Amount

Urgent removal costs (before seizure) £1,200

Six months’ rent for 7 storage units £8,400

Van hire, fuel, and labour assistance £1,200

Security deposits, admin fees, and insurance £1,200

Emergency survival support (food, rent, basics) £3,000

Total £15,000

This isn’t about luxury. It’s about keeping Julian alive and preserving his creative legacy — the kind Doctor Who fans unknowingly celebrate every time they open a book or scroll past a Dalek blueprint.

Why He Needs Us

Julian has been battling this silently — through bereavement, betrayal, and bureaucratic cruelty. His 100-year-old family home in Wandsworth, passed down since 1906, was lost to a compulsory purchase order he couldn't legally fight. Debt repayments never came. Support never arrived. His collection became his lifeline — and now it’s slipping away.

We have a rare chance to help someone who actually built the world behind the screen. This is the sort of man who made the things the Doctor battled, the Daleks we all adore — and who now faces real-world extermination, silently and alone.
