Are You a British Centenarian? We'd Love to Learn Your Story.
Based on latest data, the population 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 total of men aged 100 or over has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. During the same timeframe, the count of women aged 100 or over nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are keen to listen to individuals who have reached 100, their loved ones or close ones, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s transformative changes and shifts.
