"I was born only a couple of miles from Orient's stadium and am really happy to give back to the club that gave me my first professional start.

"I am pleased to welcome Shout to this partnership. Covid has presented many challenges, and these have affected the mental health and wellbeing of many people.

"Shout provide a vital helpline and resources to the public, helping to positively improve mental health and wellbeing.
