Do You Know a UK Centenarian? We Want to Hear From You.
According to recent data, the number of individuals reaching 100 in the UK has doubled from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
From 2004 and 2024, the total of male centenarians has tripled from 910 to 3,100. Over the identical timeframe, the amount of women aged 100 or over nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are keen to listen to those aged 100 or over, their loved ones or close ones, about what it has been like to experience the past century’s major happenings and changes.
