Do You Know a UK Centenarian? We Want to Hear From You.
Based on latest statistics, the population of centenarians 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. Over the same timeframe, the amount of women aged 100 or over nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are excited to receive stories from centenarians, their family or companions, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s transformative changes and shifts.
