12th Man / Oxford Youth and Community?

I give £10 to 12th Man and CW gets £10 to spend on a player's transfer fee or wages, which so far has been unspectactular.

I sign a form, send £10 to Oxford Youth and Community, the charity claims back 25%, the government gives another 3% (I think until 5 April this year), the club getting £12.80. I get tax relief and it only costs me £7.50.

Any thoughts?

[edited to / instead of or] I think both can coexist, but seems better for employed people like me to give to OYC and get tax relief.

Businesses and the self-employed perhaps claim back VAT and put through sponsorship and so on as advertising, getting the tax deduction that way.
