Do You Know a British Centenarian? We Want to Learn Your Story.
Based on latest statistics, the number 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 figure of male centenarians has grown by 200% from 910 to 3,100. During the same timeframe, the count of female centenarians nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are keen to receive stories from centenarians, their loved ones or companions, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s major happenings and shifts.
