their #SaveOurVenues campaign has raised over £3.8 million this year for crisis-hit grassroots music venues across the UK.Launched back in April after music venues up and down the country were forced to close their doors due to the coronavirus pandemic, the ongoing campaign is aiming to offer both financial and human support to venues during the health crisis.In an end-of-year statement, the MVT said they wanted “to acknowledge all the remarkable work that has been done this year to shield our community from the worst possible outcome of this pandemic, and to thank all of the people who made that possible”.The MVT said they had been able to support 920 Music Venues Alliance members to weather the storm of the pandemic in 2020, and that work.
