ACH Group Stadium at Glenelg - Good Lives for Older People

ACH Group supports Glenelg community

ACH Group has lent its support to the Glenelg community through a Stadium Naming Rights partnership signed in November 2018.

Formerly Gliderol Stadium, the sporting complex that houses the Glenelg Football Club and Glenelg Cricket Club is now known as ACH Group Stadium.

Glenelg Football Club Chief Executive Officer Glenn Elliott said the naming rights partnership would further strengthen the relationship between ACH Group and the Glenelg Football Club.

“Now established at the Glenelg Oval precinct, this exciting announcement confirms ACH Group’s long-term commitment to the local area,” Mr Elliott said. “As with ACH Group, Glenelg Football Club is a local not-for-profit entity with an established presence since its foundation in 1920. The Club promotes sporting participation leading to healthier lifestyles for South Australians of all ages.” “We share common ambitions including knowing our customers well, providing personalised service, being flexible to adapt to changing circumstances and developing strong partnerships. The synergies between the two entities are strong which will ensure a strong partnership.”

For 65 years, ACH Group has supported thousands of South Australians through their ageing journey. ACH Group offers a broad range of services that support people to engage and connect to the community, live well at home with support, in a retirement unit or residential care home and to maintain and even improve their health and wellbeing.

ACH Group’s 1,800 employees and more than 400 volunteers share the belief that older people should be valued and in control of their lives and pride themselves on challenging the stereotypes when it comes to ageing.

The Stadium at Glenelg has a capacity of 15,000 and has a main grandstand on the western wing as well as family-friendly grassed mound. The Stadium houses the Glenelg Football Club offices, President’s Function Room and Glenelg Club, open seven days a week for lunch and dinner. Also located on the Brighton Road side of the ground is the home of the Glenelg Cricket Club.

ACH Group opened its Health Studio 50+ upstairs at the club in February 2018.

🎭 Stage lights, gym gains, and gratitude for life! 💪✨

We spoke with Barry Hill OAM, a Health Studio customer and retirement living resident, about life since receiving the Order of Australia Medal in 2023 for his contributions to theatre and musical performance.

Barry’s passion for theatre has shown no signs of slowing. He recounts last year’s performances: “Last year I stage managed Shirley Valentine, played Sir Lancelot Spratt in Doctor in the House, directed Girl of the Frozen North (a melodrama) and played Dame Cookie in the pantomime Alice in Wonderland, all for Tea Tree Players.

“I think I enjoyed playing the Dame most of all as in classic pantomime the Dame works with the audience, ad-libs freely, and provides a lot of the adult humour of the production. The ‘custard pie’ sequence was a lot of fun getting four pies in the face every night and then having to refresh the makeup quickly and change for the next scene!”

Barry Hill’s story is all about energy, creativity, staying healthy, and community - a reminder that passion for life - and theatre - knows no limits.
