At Fosi Audio, we believe that access to music and technology should not be a privilege—it should be a bridge to opportunity, healing, and self-expression. In 2024 and 2025, we were proud to take this belief a step further through two deeply meaningful charity initiatives—one in the UK, one in Italy—each underscoring the powerful role audio technology can play in education, community rebuilding, and mental wellbeing.
Empowering Disadvantaged Youth in the UK with The Music Works
On June 12, 2024, Fosi Audio partnered with The Music Works, a Gloucestershire-based charity in the UK dedicated to transforming young lives through music. We provided a targeted donation of our PH05 headphone amplifiers to support their Whole Class Music Technology program—an initiative that has already helped over 10,000 disadvantaged young people overcome barriers to growth.
The PH05 amplifiers are now actively enhancing:
- Teaching Efficiency: By eliminating the hassle of frequent splitter changes in classrooms, they streamline group sessions and enable synchronized learning for more than 10 students at a time.
- Mobile Music Labs: Installed in the charity's mobile studio vehicle, PH05 helps bring a professional-grade music experience directly to young people who can’t access physical studios.
- Community Outreach: Our portable solutions now serve as a backbone for reaching under-resourced areas, ensuring every student gets a chance to engage with music technology.
“Using PH05 greatly improves our workflow and enhances the children’s experience,” said Marcus Jenkins, Studio Head at The Music Works.
“It means that even with limited equipment, we can get more students actively involved in music making,” added Salo, a Music Leader at the charity.
Rebuilding Hope in L'Aquila, Italy: From Earthquake to Airwaves
On February 10, 2025, our mission took us to L’Aquila, Italy, where we joined hands with the 180amici L'Aquila Association, a local nonprofit providing psychological support and running a community-driven internet radio station—Radio Stella 180. Housed in a temporary wooden structure erected after the devastating 2019 earthquake, the station had long struggled with outdated and insufficient equipment.
It all began with a giveaway campaign we co-hosted with Harley Lovegrove of Pearl Acoustics. Entrants were invited to nominate someone deserving of free audio gear. One voice stood out—Valerio Congeduti, a high school teacher and passionate audio enthusiast from L’Aquila.
“I find great meaning in helping teenagers grow and discover their potential,” Valerio shared. “Music and art should not be a privilege, but a right.”
After learning about the equipment shortages faced by Radio Stella 180, we acted swiftly—donating a complete set of Fosi Audio gear including the V3 Mono, GR40, and PH05. These upgrades significantly enhanced the station’s signal stability and sound quality, empowering their volunteer team to deliver better programs, emotional support, and public information to a recovering community.
“It’s been a powerful gesture, bringing together technology, wellbeing, and community care,” Valerio remarked.
Looking Ahead: Technology with a Purpose
These stories reflect more than just charitable giving—they embody our core values: accessibility, empowerment, and global connection through sound. Whether it’s helping a child experience their first collaborative music session or supporting a town recovering from trauma, we are committed to making audio technology a tool for good.
As we continue our global outreach, we invite you—our community—to be part of this journey. Together, we can bring clarity, creativity, and connection to more lives around the world.
