Are You a UK Centenarian? We Want to Hear From You.
According to latest data, the count of individuals reaching 100 in the UK has increased twofold from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
From 2004 and 2024, the number of male individuals reaching 100 has grown by 200% from 910 to 3,100. Over the same timeframe, the number of women aged 100 or over nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are keen to listen to centenarians, their family or friends, about what it has been like to experience the past century’s major happenings and developments.
