Are You a UK Centenarian? We Want to Hear From You.
Based on recent data, the number 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 figure of men aged 100 or over has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. Over the identical period, the count of female individuals reaching 100 almost doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are excited to listen to centenarians, their loved ones or close ones, about what it has been like to live through the past century’s seismic events and changes.
