Are You a British Centenarian? We'd Love to Hear From You.
Based on latest data, the count of people aged 100 and above in the UK has doubled from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
From 2004 and 2024, the number of male individuals reaching 100 has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. Over the same years, the count of women aged 100 or over nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are keen to receive stories from individuals who have reached 100, their relatives or close ones, about what it has been like to experience the past century’s transformative changes and shifts.
