  • BEE UNIQUE FC – COACH OF THE YEAR AWARD 2025

    πŸ† BEE UNIQUE FC COACH OF THE YEAR goes to our very own Co-Founder, Coach & SEND Parent – MARTIN MCCARRON

    ❀️ All at BEE UNIQUE would like to say a massive well done to Martin McCarron – whose outstanding contributions to BEE UNIQUE FC have made such a difference to the SEND community. Martin volunteers his time coaching on a weekly basis, organising stadium tours, autism awareness days with BEE UNIQUE FC players having the opportunity to be flag barers, mascots, playing a game during half time, meeting the players who have worn BEE UNIQUE FC ear defenders to raise much needed Autism Awareness and promote pan disability football team. All of BEE UNIQUE FC are super excited to attend our next venture.. Liverpool FC.

    🐝🌈 Martin McCarron said “Thank you so much for nominating me, I am humbled and delighted that I have won this award on behalf of BEE UNIQUE FC. An award shared with my fellow coaches and BEE UNIQUE FC players. BEE UNIQUE FC would not be possible with the amazing coaches we have – Dave Parsons (Co-Founder of BEE UNIQUE,), Simon Walsh, Charlotte Jackson Wainwright and Volunteer Michael Saunders who donate and dedicate their free time on a weekly basis. We are a great team, full of support for one another teaching children in a non rigid comfortable environment.

    🌟 Football has always been my passion and even more so, promoting pan disability football and raising much needed autism awareness along the way.

    ❀️ We have watched our amazing BEE UNIQUE FC players grow from strength to strength. We are super proud of each and every one of our players.

    🀩 The greatest reward for us is providing a platform and opportunity for the children to be able to show off their amazing skills and abilities, playing a sport that they love and simply being themselves.

    🧑 We as coaches are honoured to be part of the children’s journey and to each and everyone of our amazing BEE UNIQUE FC Players – keep being your awesome selves!

    πŸ’™ Thank you all for supporting BEE UNIQUE πŸ’™
