Do You Know a UK Centenarian? We'd Love to Learn Your Story.
According to recent statistics, the population of people aged 100 and above in the UK has increased twofold from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
From 2004 and 2024, the total of male centenarians has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. During the same years, the count of female centenarians increased by nearly 100% from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are keen to hear from centenarians, their family or close ones, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s transformative changes and shifts.
