Are You a British Centenarian? We'd Love to Hear From You.
Based on recent statistics, the number 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 figure of male centenarians has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. During the same timeframe, the amount of women aged 100 or over nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are excited to receive stories from those aged 100 or over, their family or friends, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s seismic events and shifts.
