In fact, I saw him last night at a family get-together and gave him a bit of a tutorial on what I had learned so far and set some "homework" f watching copies of short videos on Bitcoin.

As long as you convince him that it's an interesting thing to get involved and don't just give him the money, you're fine by me. Even if the amount isn't much to start with, you definitely push him in a financially intelligent direction.

Either way, I will soon be ready to dive in with a minimal purchase of my own just to get the hang of it. Any recommendations for an exchange with a low minimum charge (under 50 UKP) and low commsiion?

I don't know many, but since you don't seem me a techie-person, I know Binance is fine for these amounts. Otherwise, if you don't want to give KYC, try a decentralized exchange such as bisq.network.
