Walking Footy

Co-founded by SANFL and ECH, Walking Footy is a fun modified Australian Rules Football program created specifically for people aged 50 or over.

Played in teams of six people on a field the size of a basketball court, SANFL and ECH Walking Footy is designed to be a fun, inclusive and safe game with no running, tackling, or bumping involved.

SANFL and ECH Walking Footy is a great way to meet new people and incorporate exercise into your life in a social and fun way.

Metropolitan Bowls Association

ECH has been a proud sponsor of the Metropolitan Bowls Association (MBA) since the beginning of 2018. The MBA includes just over 50 bowls clubs located across Adelaide. The clubs range in size and this grassroots sponsorship provides much needed support to the club network.

The social bowls season occurs from April to October, while the competitive bowls season is held from October to March. Both programs provide a great opportunity to socialise and meet new people while also staying fit and active.

History Festival

In 2017 ECH became a major sponsor of South Australia’s History Festival.

The festival is one of South Australia’s largest community events, promoting historical collections, places and stories through hundreds of events ranging from talks to tours, walks to workshops and exhibitions to special events.

Its popularity and success are due to the hard work and enthusiasm of the event organisers, including thousands of volunteers, who are passionate about sharing South Australia’s history.

Botanic Gardens and State Herbarium (BGSH)

ECH has partnered with iconic Botanic Gardens and State Herbarium (BGSH) to work closely on their Health and Wellbeing program, with particular focus on Therapeutic Horticulture.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in many people becoming more aware of how important it is to focus on our physical and mental health and wellbeing, and to care for the more vulnerable members around us.

Community gardening and engaging with nature has proven to be physically and psychologically beneficial and reduces the risk of social isolation.
