The Mears Foundation’s grant has been essential in helping the ISARO Community Initiative’s “Waste to Treasure” project. This creative initiative attempts to address poverty while advancing sustainability. The grant helps to sustain the Upstyle Shop, a reuse store in Glasgow that makes money to support the charity endeavours of ISARO. The project encourages reuse and repair while also offering accessible solutions for individuals facing financial difficulties by gathering and restoring old things. It also provides advice on how to save energy at home, which helps community members live more sustainably and cut costs.
