'Kernow Matters To Us' is a Cornish campaign group. Formed during 2015 to proclaim and celebrate Cornish culture, history, language and music whilst speaking out unashamedly for the Cornish, our members are proud to support the Cornish National Minority. Members of our group administer this and other social media sites.
