Are You a British Centenarian? We Want to Learn Your Story.
Based on 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.
From 2004 and 2024, the number of male centenarians has grown by 200% from 910 to 3,100. Over the identical period, the count of female centenarians increased by nearly 100% from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are keen to receive stories from those aged 100 or over, their loved ones or close ones, about what it has been like to live through the past century’s seismic events and developments.
