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 grown by 100% from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
Between 2004 and 2024, the number of men aged 100 or over has grown by 200% from 910 to 3,100. During the identical timeframe, the amount of female centenarians nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are keen to receive stories from centenarians, their loved ones or companions, about what it has been like to experience the past century’s seismic events and developments.
