Do You Know a UK Centenarian? We'd Love to Hear From You.
Based on latest figures, the population of people aged 100 and above in the UK has increased twofold from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
From 2004 and 2024, the figure of male individuals reaching 100 has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. Over the identical years, the count of female centenarians almost doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are keen to hear from individuals who have reached 100, their family or close ones, about what it has been like to live through the past century’s major happenings and developments.
