Are You a UK Person Aged 100 or Over? We Want to Learn Your Story.
According to latest statistics, the number of people aged 100 and above in the UK has grown by 100% from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
From 2004 and 2024, the total of male centenarians has tripled from 910 to 3,100. During the same years, the count of female centenarians increased by nearly 100% from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are excited to receive stories from centenarians, their relatives or close ones, about what it has been like to experience the past century’s transformative changes and shifts.
