Do You Know a UK Centenarian? We'd Love to Hear From You.
According to recent figures, the number of people aged 100 and above in the UK has increased twofold from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
Between 2004 and 2024, the total of male individuals reaching 100 has grown by 200% from 910 to 3,100. During the identical years, the amount of women aged 100 or over almost doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are eager to hear from individuals who have reached 100, their loved ones or friends, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s transformative changes and shifts.
