Please join the Kowethas to support our work with the Cornish Language. More details about membership options and benefits are here. You can buy membership in our online shop here, or by email or by post.
Beyond that, the best support you can give is to use Cornish as much as possible in your everyday life, to make it as visible as possible to as many people as possible.
Go to classes, learn online, go to Yeth an Werin, come to events, greet people with Cornish, write greetings cards in Cornish, use Cornish greetings in emails, play with kids in Cornish, make films and videos in Cornish.
