Like many people who live in and around Darlington, I made occasional visits to the Clervaux Cafe in Conniscliffe Road and admired what they were doing there. I was also vaguely aware that there was some sort of Clervaux school or training facility down the road in Croft. So, when I retired a year ago following forty years working in hospitals and universities, I did a bit of ‘Googling’ to see if there was any way I could get involved.
