Keech was chosen as the company’s chosen charity and it will hold a special charity week later this year.

Keech corporate fundraiser Caron Hooper said: “We’re very grateful for the continued support of Thameslink and Great Northern.

“We receive only 30 percent of our funding from the NHS, the rest has to be made up from wonderful voluntary donations like this.”
