Do You Know a UK Centenarian? We'd Love to Hear From You.

According to latest statistics, the number of centenarians in the UK has doubled from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.

From 2004 and 2024, the total of men aged 100 or over has tripled from 910 to 3,100. Over the same years, the count of female centenarians nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.

We are keen to receive stories from those aged 100 or over, their relatives or close ones, about what it has been like to live through the past century’s major happenings and developments.
