The fund has now closed as as we did not reach the target. Therefore pledges will not be called in and legal action will not be forthcoming.

The pledgebank reached at its peak just over £40,000, which was remarkable given the traditional low pay of Cornwall coupled with the lack of publicity and the credit crunch. It should also be said that no other minority cultural group has matched this amount of community support - as in all other cases legal recognition and rights have been aquired through legal action brought about via direct or indirect government funding. Only the Cornish have been left to fund their own case.
