The star has donated the entirety of his £25,000 honor winnings to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the UK's small concert spaces.
The star was presented with the cheque on October 16 as his latest record People Watching was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part local spots played in his initial steps.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I played around the North East, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said the artist. "These venues are iconic, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these locations have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Recently, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
He also participated, collecting more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help 38 small stages across Britain.
The donation helped venues that were confronting potential shutdown due to challenges caused by floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Some locations were granted monetary aid in modernizing amenities and technical equipment that helped musicians and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from concerts in big venues backs the local stages, where it begins for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has stated.
He is far from the only musician to contribute his award prize money to good deeds.
When the band won the award in the mid-90s for their album the album, frontman the singer stated that the band would contribute their prize money to the non-profit the charity.
That year, artist the artist shared her bounty across multiple good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I donated a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
In recent years, Ezra Collective contributed their prize money to the youth organization that developed their group, as well as other local music groups.
Also the 1994 recipients the group gave their award to a charity for MS after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"Winning was ample," said singer Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory affected somebody else's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had rescued a couple of local spots in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
One venue in that area and The Croft in the city were bought under the community ownership scheme, which is backed by a national body and enthusiasts who acquire "ownership units" in the properties.
