Support bubble in a different country

[Trollsinthedungeon]

Right forgive me for asking but Can I go and support my nana and grandad in wales if I live in England. I am the second closest person (distance) to them and they need a lot of care and help. Obviously I'd wait until I've finished isolating, but I really feel like I need to step up and help them. I live about 45 mins away from them at the moment but it would be going from tier 4 to wales.

My Nana has dementia and has now reverted back to only welsh (I am the only one in my family who speaks it fluently) and my grandad has terminal cancer and covid brain changes resulting in a type of dementia.

Yes - either as a support bubble or as caring for the vulnerable.

If you are worried c being stopped (unlikely) just look up both sets of guidelines so you can quote.

Sorry your family is having a rough time

From the Welsh government website:

“ There are no rules saying your support bubble has to be with someone in your local authority area, or within any set distance of your home. There are also no rules preventing support bubbles being formed with households outside Wales, and we recognise these may be the right answer for people living close to a border. ”
