Are You a UK Centenarian? We Want to Learn Your Story.
According to latest figures, the count of centenarians in the UK has grown by 100% from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
Between 2004 and 2024, the total of male individuals reaching 100 has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. During the identical years, the amount of women aged 100 or over increased by nearly 100% from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are keen to receive stories from individuals who have reached 100, their family or close ones, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s transformative changes and developments.
