Short answer: you probably can't (unless you meet special circumstances such as "working for the crown" or "they can't get any other citizenship"). They do get some benefits through you, however: it may be easier for them to get a Visa, and they may be able to apply for citizenship after living in the UK for only 3 years instead of 5 years.

Is the child of a British citizen mother automatically a British citizen?
No, not unless they are born in the United Kingdom. However, someone born after 1961 to a British mother, and who is a citizen of a Commonwealth country, can apply for citizenship, with a few exceptions. There are restrictions based on criminal record, etc, but in most cases, citizenship can be obtained. This is due to a change made in 2006. Prior to 2006, only children born after 1983 could apply for citizenship through their mothers.
