Do You Know a British Centenarian? We'd Love to Hear From You.
Based on recent figures, the count 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 individuals reaching 100 has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. During the same years, the number of women aged 100 or over nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are excited to receive stories from those aged 100 or over, their relatives or close ones, about what it has been like to live through the past century’s major happenings and developments.
