Almost everyone that works for the Kowethas does so as an unpaid volunteer and every penny received is used to continue our work. Membership fees are an important part of that income and arevital for our work to advance the Cornish language.
With your support, we can do even more to celebrate the Cornish language, its speakers and its culture.
Keep up the amazing work you are doing, you are precious custodians of a beautiful language and culture, and I feel proud to be part of it.
