Are You a UK Person Aged 100 or Over? We Want to Hear From You.
According to latest statistics, the count of centenarians in the UK has grown by 100% from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
From 2004 and 2024, the figure of men aged 100 or over has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. During the same period, the amount of female individuals reaching 100 nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are keen to hear from centenarians, their loved ones or companions, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s major happenings and shifts.
