Are You a UK Centenarian? We'd Love to Hear From You.
According to latest figures, the count 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 total of male individuals reaching 100 has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. Over the same years, the number of female individuals reaching 100 nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are excited to receive stories from centenarians, their relatives or close ones, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s major happenings and changes.
