Do You Know a British Person Aged 100 or Over? We'd Love to Learn Your Story.

According to latest data, the number of people aged 100 and above in the UK has grown by 100% from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.

Between 2004 and 2024, the figure of male individuals reaching 100 has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. During the same period, the count of female centenarians nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.

We are keen to listen to centenarians, their loved ones or friends, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s major happenings and shifts.
