Do You Know a UK Centenarian? We Want to Hear From You.

According to recent figures, the number of people aged 100 and above 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 grown by 200% from 910 to 3,100. During the identical period, the number of female individuals reaching 100 nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.

We are excited to listen to centenarians, their loved ones or friends, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s seismic events and changes.
