Are You a UK Centenarian? We'd Love to Hear From You.

According to recent data, the count of individuals reaching 100 in the UK has increased twofold from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.

Between 2004 and 2024, the number of male individuals reaching 100 has tripled from 910 to 3,100. During the same period, the number of female centenarians nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.

We are keen to listen to individuals who have reached 100, their relatives or friends, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s major happenings and changes.
