Local groups
The local support groups are a great way to meet others with a vestibular disorder, to share hints and tips, experiences, gain mutual support and, in some cases, hear from expert speakers.
Groups are set up by members, health professionals and/or related organisations. They are run autonomously from, but with the support of, the Ménière’s Society.
Contact the Meniere's Society for further information or click on the group name below to email the group direct for more information. Please note some email links are external and go direct to the group, others have requested contact comes via the Meniere's Society and we forward the message on.
Please contact our Groups Coordinator if you would like more information about starting a group. You can also download a copy of our starting a group factsheet.
