Welcome to the Go Green Eco Urban Festival – Voices of River Moselle.
The Go Green Eco Urban Festival has grown from a small grassroots idea into a borough‑wide platform dedicated to climate action, environmental justice and community‑led innovation. This year’s programme places a strong focus on practical climate preparedness, offering residents clear, accessible guidance on flood awareness, extreme‑heat support and sustainable everyday living. A central strength of the festival is its partnership network. We are proud to work with the Environment Agency, the North London Waste Authority
(NLWA), the Haringey Communities Prepared Team, and a committed group of local eco practitioners who form the Moselle Climate Action Creative Crew. Their deep knowledge of Haringey’s neighbourhoods ensures that every workshop, demonstration and conversation is rooted in lived experience and shaped by the needs of the communities they serve.
Running from June to September, the programme brings together hands‑on workshops, outdoor activities, specialist demonstrations and creative sessions designed to help residents understand local climate risks and take meaningful action. A key feature is Voices of River Moselle, a participatory arts project exploring flood risk, adaptation and the hidden river that connects our borough.
Together, these activities show how local expertise, creative practice and community collaboration can build a greener, safer and more resilient Haringey as we move towards net‑zero carbon by 2041 for all.

Summer of Community Power by Sonja Camara & Grace O’Malley
Summer in Haringey is never quiet — and this edition captures the community energy shaping our borough. You’ll find stories rooted in lived experience, practical support, creativity, enterprise and the everyday actions that strengthen neighbourhoods.
We highlight the essential work of the Haringey Community Food Network, whose members provide dignity, nourishment and connection through food hubs, community kitchens and the Recipe for Love cookbook launch — a reminder that food is community,and everyone deserves a seat at the table.
We also spotlight local enterprise through M.O.B – My Own Business, featuring Robert Thairu, Founder of Environmental Education and Response CIC, whose journey reflects the resilience and innovation of Haringey’s grassroots leaders.
Our Word Up Creatives section celebrates the borough’s artistic heartbeat, including theArt of the River – Moselle Finale Exhibition, the Lordship Rec Flower & Produce Festival and the Moselle Arts & Makers Showcase — creativity as healing, storytelling and renewal.
Health and wellbeing remain central, with summer safety guidance, bowel cancer screening awareness, and beauty and skincare advice from local professionals. We also feature community‑led initiatives such as Cycle Sisters, marking ten years of empowering women to reclaim green spaces and movement.
As we move towards Borough of Culture 2027, 4U2 continues to amplify local voices, celebrate achievements and connect residents with opportunities, services and each other.
Enjoy the sunshine, stay connected, and keep lifting one another.
Together, we shape the story of Haringey.
