Are You a British Centenarian? We Want to Learn Your Story.
According to recent figures, the count of individuals reaching 100 in the UK has increased twofold from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
From 2004 and 2024, the figure of male centenarians has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. Over the same years, the amount of female individuals reaching 100 increased by nearly 100% from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are excited to receive stories from individuals who have reached 100, their family or companions, about what it has been like to experience the past century’s seismic events and shifts.
