The CheckIn Group works in close partnership with the Council's Environment Service. CheckIn Buddies and Giraffe volunteers are based every week at the Westbank Nursery site in Perth.

Giraffe and CheckIn share a polytunnel with the Council and Perth College. Our volunteers and jobseekers grow plants and herbs for sale at the Shop & Gallery and South Inch Park.

CheckIn Works and Giraffe Trading are delighted to open a new visitor attraction at the popular South Inch Park in Perth.

From Easter weekend visitors to the Park have enjoyed hot and cold refreshments including tea and coffee, warm scones and jam, ice-cream. In addition to our new outside cafe facilities, visitors can play a round of cazy golf on the newly refurbished course or enjoy  one of the giant games.

Throughout the summer there will be a number of fun events for all the family including strawberry teas, brass and jazz bands and fundraisers.

CheckIn Works are always on the look out for stimulating activities for job seekers. Our Tuesday afternoon group have been restoring pieces of wooden furniture to their former glory!

We welcome donations of small items of solid wooden furniture such as chairs, stools, tables and cabinets. Once restored, these will be sold at the Giraffe Shop & Gallery in South Street, Perth.
