Are You a British Centenarian? We'd Love to Learn Your Story.

Based on recent data, the population 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 men aged 100 or over has tripled from 910 to 3,100. During the identical years, the count of female individuals reaching 100 increased by nearly 100% from 7,400 to 13,600.

We are excited to receive stories from individuals who have reached 100, their relatives or close ones, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s major happenings and developments.
