Meet the Telford Batman.
Batman returns to Donnington on a regular basis thanks to Councillor Jay Gough
He was medically discharged from the army in 2015 after being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, stemming from his time serving in Afghanistan. He reached out to Kevin Stevens, a New Zealand based entertainer known as ‘Wellington Batman’. Kevin helped Jay build his first Batman suit - Christian Bale’s Dark Knight suit - and put him in touch with creators across the world.Jay soon began wearing the suit to community events and children’s parties to raise money for two charities, Children with Cancer UK and Hope House.
During the pandemic, Jay would don one of his suits for his government-mandated walks, reaching out to his local community on Facebook.
