Are You a UK Centenarian? We'd Love to Learn Your Story.
Based on latest statistics, the count of people aged 100 and above in the UK has increased twofold from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
Between 2004 and 2024, the figure of male individuals reaching 100 has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. During the identical years, the number of female individuals reaching 100 nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are keen to hear from centenarians, their relatives or close ones, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s seismic events and changes.
