Clervaux Artisan Bakery & Cafe

Trusted for 10 years

Clervaux Trust opened an artisan bakery, cafe and shop from 38 Coniscliffe Road in Darlington to great acclaim in September 2010. This substantial semi-detached property is very close to the centre of town and is open to the public serving delicious freshly baked organic bread, light meals and lunches and fresh organic produce grown at Clow Beck. Alongside the commercial activity are a wide range of  educational, work experience and work placement opportunities for students and numerous community based activities . Over the course of the first year the project is working with 40 young people on a regular basis, with opportunities for shorter courses and training for up to 100 others. The experience will provide much improved opportunities to gain employment and contribute to the local community. In addition, they receive a much needed boost to their confidence and self esteem, which in turn is expected to impact positively on their behaviour towards others.
