Clare Richards, impressed by the nuns who taught at her Catholic school in North London, chose to join a teaching order, with the ultimate aim of looking after deprived children in homes in the north of England. However, these were closed following a policy change at the Vatican. She then sought other work, but each time was thwarted, so eventually decided to return to the outside world. She married a former priest, adopted boy and girl twins who had been abandoned in Colombia, and settled in Norwich to teach RE. She worked for UNICEF as a volunteer.
