Fender has decided to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function small stages played in his early career.

Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these locations have shut down – about 16% of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, top acts like Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to support the industry, by including a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
