Are You a UK Centenarian? We'd Love to Learn Your Story.
According to recent data, 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 men aged 100 or over has grown by 200% from 910 to 3,100. During the identical years, the amount of female individuals reaching 100 nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are keen to receive stories from centenarians, their family or friends, about what it has been like to experience the past century’s transformative changes and shifts.
