Basildon's British Gas employees are embarking on a year-long fundraising odyssey to raise money for the Meningitis Trust.

Working in partnership with the charity, the workers hope to raise awareness of the need to protect the lives of the thousands affected by the disease every year.

Employees are hoping to raise £250,000 through their Every Second Counts appeal.
