The artist has handed over the complete sum of his £25,000 honor winnings to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to protect the Britain's small concert spaces.
He was given the cheque on 16 October as his latest record the album was chosen as the best record of the last 12 months.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the essential function local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I personally wouldn't be doing this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I did around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," said the artist. "These spaces are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have shut down – approximately 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which benefits local stages.
He also participated, raising over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to help 38 small stages across the UK.
The donation supported venues that were facing imminent closure due to issues caused by floods, fires and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and neighbor objections.
Some locations received monetary aid in modernizing facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and audiences.
"The notion that revenue from concerts in big venues backs the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just common sense," the star has stated.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his honor funds to good deeds.
Back when Pulp earned the prize in the mid-90s for their release the album, frontman Jarvis Cocker stated that the act would give their cash to the charity War Child.
In 2002, artist the artist divided her prize between multiple good causes, like the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective donated their winnings to the youth organization that nurtured their group, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And 1994 winners M People gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked singer the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we could do without the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our winning affected somebody else's life."
In the past week, the MVT revealed it had protected two local spots in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in the city were purchased under the public acquisition scheme, which is backed by Arts Council England and supporters who acquire "shares" in the venues.
