The artist has donated the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to protect the UK's independent concert spaces.
The star was awarded the cheque on mid-October as his latest record his work was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has opted to hand the money over to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the crucial part grassroots venues played in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the shows I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," said the artist. "These spaces are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, top acts like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a modest fee to their admission fees, which benefits independent venues.
He also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to support thirty-eight small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money supported venues that were dealing with potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Some locations obtained funding support in modernizing facilities and gear that helped artists and audiences.
"The notion that revenue from concerts in big venues supports the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," the star has commented.
He is among several artists to donate his Mercury Prize funds to worthy causes.
In Pulp received the award in the mid-90s for their release their work, lead singer the singer announced that the group would contribute their winnings to the charity War Child.
That year, rapper and singer the artist split her prize across a few charities, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they needed updated gear," the artist told outlets.
Two years ago, they gave their winnings to the community center that supported their group, as well as other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year M People donated their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," remarked singer the singer. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust revealed it had saved two small stages in the South East, by placing them under public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and the second in that location were bought under the community ownership scheme, which is supported by a national body and enthusiasts who purchase "stakes" in the venues.
