Our Christmas Card selection for 2024 is now available on our website; we do hope you like this year’s designs.
You can order and view our cards online or call us on 01306 876883 to order over the phone. An order form will also be included in the next issue of Spin, but order early to avoid disappointment as they often sell fast! Proceeds from the sales of Christmas Cards go to support the work of the Ménière’s Society.
Thank you for supporting our charity in this way.
Our Research Programme started in 1998. Since then, we are proud to have supported projects aimed at identifying:
- better tests to identify and monitor conditions
- less destructive treatments for severe cases
- a better understanding of the cause of vestibular disorders
- a greater understanding of the psychology of vestibular disorders.

The Ménière’s Society hosts monthly online meetings to help people find out more about vestibular conditions and how to manage them?
The sessions give you the chance to make contact and chat with others about what you're going through and what can be done to help. View dates of forthcoming meetings and register for a session here.
"I found it very useful and interesting to find out how other people are affected and how they cope with it. I am sure it will help me deal with the condition in future and I will join in with future meetings."
