What is a support bubble?

A support bubble is a close support network between a household with only one adult in the home (known as a single-adult household) and one other household of any size.

This is called making a ‘support bubble’.

Once you’re in a support bubble, you can think of yourself as being in a single household with people from the other household. It means you can have close contact with that household as if they were members of your own household.

Once you make a support bubble, you should not change who is in your bubble.

Who can make a support bubble?

If you’re in a single-adult household you can form a support bubble with another household of any size that is not part of a support bubble with anyone else if you:

- live by yourself – even if carers visit you to provide support
- are a single parent living with children who were under 18 on 12 June 2020
- If you live with other adults, including if your carer or carers live with you
- You can form a support bubble with one single-adult household who are not part of a support bubble with anyone else.

- If you share custody of your child with someone you do not live with
- If you’re a single-adult household, you can form a support bubble with another household other than the one that includes your child’s other parent.

If you’re not a single adult household, you can form a support bubble with a single-adult household other than the one that includes your child’s other parent.

You should try to limit travelling far to make a support bubble.
The Government recommends that you form a support bubble with a household that lives locally wherever possible. This will help to prevent the virus spreading from an area where there might be a higher rate of infection.
