Do You Know a British Centenarian? We Want to Hear From You.

Based on recent figures, the population of centenarians in the UK has increased twofold from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.

From 2004 and 2024, the figure of men aged 100 or over has tripled from 910 to 3,100. During the identical timeframe, the count of female centenarians almost doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.

We are keen to hear from those aged 100 or over, their loved ones or friends, about what it has been like to experience the past century’s transformative changes and developments.
