Great Big Green Week
9 June 2024: Great Big Green Week is a UK-wide celebration of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature. Here’s Sheffield Climate Choir singing ‘Earth’s Child’ by Emily Roblyn to celebrate Sheffield’s rivers in an event organised with the South Yorkshire Climate Alliance. At Castlegate, looking out over the river, the Sheffield Climate Choir was joined by singers who had been raising their voices as part of the National Street Choirs Festival which filled the streets of Sheffield with music throughout the weekend.
