Terry is also in negotiations with suppliers to cut the cost of kits for nearly 300 youngsters who play for the club.

The Chelsea captain told Sportsmail: 'When the seriousness of the situation was brought to my attention through reading the Daily Mail, I immediately wanted to help.

'Having made contact with Tony Carroll (Senrab club secretary) I've made a donation that I've been told should keep the club in a healthy position for the next few years.'
