About
The Dusty Knuckle is a non-profit organisation based in London, United Kingdom working on employment & skills, children & youth.
The Dusty Knuckle is a London social enterprise operating a bakery and café in Dalston and Harringay, with a mobile milk float delivery service and a van in Highbury Fields. Its core purpose is a youth training programme that gives at-risk young people, including those leaving prison or the justice system, on-the-job training, mentorship and paid work experience in a commercial bakery. The business also runs baking and cooking classes open to the public, hosts events such as Dusty Dinners and Come Chat, and directs all proceeds from its youth donation campaigns to the Youth Training Programme. It operates as a Community Interest Company, which the organisation describes as halfway between a company and a charity.
