Do You Know a British Centenarian? We'd Love to Learn Your Story.
Based on recent statistics, the count of individuals reaching 100 in the UK has doubled from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
Between 2004 and 2024, the figure of male individuals reaching 100 has tripled from 910 to 3,100. During the same timeframe, the number of women aged 100 or over increased by nearly 100% from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are keen to hear from centenarians, their loved ones or friends, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s transformative changes and developments.
