Are You a British Centenarian? We'd Love to Learn Your Story.
According to recent figures, the population of people aged 100 and above in the UK has doubled 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. During the identical timeframe, the number of female centenarians increased by nearly 100% from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are excited to receive stories from individuals who have reached 100, their family or companions, about what it has been like to live through the past century’s seismic events and shifts.
