Are You a British Centenarian? We Want to Learn Your Story.
According to recent figures, the population of individuals reaching 100 in the UK has increased twofold from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
Between 2004 and 2024, the number of male centenarians has grown by 200% from 910 to 3,100. During the identical timeframe, the count of female individuals reaching 100 almost doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are eager to receive stories from centenarians, their family or companions, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s major happenings and changes.
