Do You Know a UK Centenarian? We'd Love to Hear From You.
Based on recent data, the population 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 number of men aged 100 or over has grown by 200% from 910 to 3,100. During the identical years, the amount of female centenarians almost doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are keen to receive stories from those aged 100 or over, their relatives or companions, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s major happenings and shifts.
