Do You Know a British Person Aged 100 or Over? We'd Love to Hear From You.

According to latest statistics, the population of centenarians in the UK has increased twofold from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.

Between 2004 and 2024, the figure of male centenarians has tripled from 910 to 3,100. During the same period, the number of female individuals reaching 100 increased by nearly 100% from 7,400 to 13,600.

We are eager to receive stories from individuals who have reached 100, their family or companions, about what it has been like to live through the past century’s transformative changes and developments.
