Are You a British Centenarian? We'd Love to Hear From You.

According to recent data, 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 total of male centenarians has grown by 200% from 910 to 3,100. During the same timeframe, the count of women aged 100 or over almost doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.

We are keen to receive stories from centenarians, their loved ones or close ones, about what it has been like to experience the past century’s seismic events and shifts.
