Zebedee Bonsu, Peyman Gorani, George Hart and Fahim Kazimi were referred to the Foundation by various charities, including Willow Foundation, Rays of Sunshine and Young Lives v Cancer.

To start the day, supporters participated in a Q&A session at the Arena before taking front-row seats to watch the Chelsea squad train. For the first time in a long while it was a rainy session for the players, but thankfully the worst of it had ended by the time they headed off the pitch to meet our extra special guests and get their photos taken with them.

‘It was my dream to see the Chelsea players face to face, and it has made my year,’ beamed Fahim.

‘All the players were very kind and friendly. I had a wonderful day. The staff were really kind and a big thanks to everyone who organised the day for me.’

George, aged 18, especially enjoyed seeing the work that went on during the session, and meeting two fan’s favourites.

‘My favourite part was watching the players train and what type of drills Tuchel puts the players through to prepare them for a specific team,’ said George, pictured top.

‘I enjoyed meeting all of the players but more so Reece James and Thiago Silva. The whole experience was amazing, from asking questions about the club and getting a little insight into what goes on, to watching training and then meeting the players.’

For 15-year-old Zebedee, it was something else that really captured his imagination when asked what his best moment of the day was.

‘The Champions League trophy – it’s rare to be able to touch it!’ he replied.

‘You always see it on TV and think you are never going to touch it. I was really happy when they won the Champions League and so showed off to all my friends the picture of me touching it!’

The regular community days see the Chelsea Foundation linking up with a range of charities to arrange visits for supporters and their carers, giving them a well-deserved boost in what is obviously a difficult time for them and their families.
