Are You a UK Centenarian? We'd Love to Learn Your Story.
Based on recent data, the count of people aged 100 and above in the UK has doubled from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
Between 2004 and 2024, the number of male individuals reaching 100 has tripled from 910 to 3,100. During the identical period, the amount of women aged 100 or over increased by nearly 100% from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are excited to listen to individuals who have reached 100, their relatives or friends, about what it has been like to live through the past century’s seismic events and developments.
