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

According to latest figures, the count of individuals reaching 100 in the UK has doubled from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.

Between 2004 and 2024, the total of male individuals reaching 100 has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. During the same timeframe, the number of women aged 100 or over almost doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.

We are eager to hear from those aged 100 or over, their relatives or friends, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s major happenings and changes.
