Tax relief on memberships and gifts

Q1. I pay a local sports club membership fee for my child. The form states its charitable status and charity number. Can this be added to my charitable donations for gift aid? I am unclear at this time if the club claim gift aid or not against my payment Q2. I gift my children less than 3k a year. Can this be claimed for my rax return. As my income is reduced

Hi 

No.  You cannot claim tax relief as this is not a gift to the charity, but a payment to use the facilities of the charity.  Cash gifts are not taxable, so there is no tax relief you can claim.

Thank you
