He was given the award on October 16 as his third album the album was chosen as the best record of the last 12 months.

"I personally wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I did around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – approximately 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, well-known musicians such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its attempts to support the industry, by adding a modest fee to their ticket costs, which supports smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, generating in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across Britain.
The money assisted locations that were facing potential shutdown due to issues arising from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.

Also winners that year the group contributed their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was identified with the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," stated vocalist Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
Recently, the trust announced it had rescued two grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and the other in Bristol were bought under the community ownership program, which is funded by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "ownership units" in the buildings.
