Do You Know a British Person Aged 100 or Over? We'd Love to Hear From You.

According to recent data, the count of people aged 100 and above in the UK has doubled from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.

From 2004 and 2024, the total of male centenarians has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. During the identical period, the amount of female centenarians increased by nearly 100% from 7,400 to 13,600.

We are eager to receive stories from those aged 100 or over, their loved ones or friends, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s seismic events and changes.
