Are You a UK Centenarian? We Want to Hear From You.

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.

From 2004 and 2024, the number of male centenarians has increased threefold 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 keen to listen to those aged 100 or over, their family or companions, about what it has been like to live through the past century’s transformative changes and shifts.
