Murhad Hussain, from London, is a former international table tennis player now pursuing a Master’s in Sport Business Management. Alongside his career in powerlifting, in which he competes with international ambitions, Murhad is passionate about tackling child poverty and creating inclusive sport spaces.

SpinSpace is an inclusive, eco-friendly table tennis initiative in Aberdeen that transforms vacant urban properties into community hubs. By offering subsidised memberships, youth programmes and adaptive opportunities for people with disabilities, the project removes barriers to participation for low-income families and vulnerable groups.
Aligned with Aberdeen’s Union Street Empty Shops Action Plan, SpinSpace repurposes disused spaces into welcoming sport environments. By tackling the city’s 24% child poverty rate and promoting affordable access to sport, the initiative empowers communities to play, grow and thrive together.
