Designing a flag

Creating a community flag

How communities across the UK are creating a flag of their own, with our free support from first sketch to entry in the UK Flag Registry.

Creating a community flag is a wonderful way to proclaim the unique identity of a place and its people, and the Flag Institute is here to help every step of the way.

County, region, island, city, town, village or neighbourhood; communities across the UK are taking up the challenge.
