ACH Group continues support to Glenelg community

Respected community-based organisation ACH Group has renewed its naming rights of Glenelg Oval for another two years.

Since 2019, the multi-use sports complex has been known as ACH Group Stadium, and will now continue until the end of 2022.

ACH Group Chief Executive Officer Frank Weits said as a progressive and innovative provider of services and a strong advocate for older people, ACH Group is always looking at new ways to provide opportunities to connect people with their local communities in new and interesting ways.

“The multi-use sports complex and ACH Group share many common values, including recognising the importance of an active lifestyle, a sense of community and regular social connection to our overall health,” Mr Weits said.

Glenelg Oval is home to the and Glenelg Cricket Club, and hosts many community events and local, state and international sporting events across the year.

As the Glenelg Football Club enters its Centenary year in 2021, CEO Justin Scripps is thrilled to maintain its strong partnership with ACH Group.

“It is an exciting time at ACH Group Stadium, with two Sheffield Shield games taking place in October and November. The iconic Bay Sheffield will also be hosted here for the first time in December,” Mr Scripps said.

The partnership is a natural extension of the relationship between the two organisations following the opening of ACH Group’s Health Studio 50+ at the site in February 2019.
