Are You a British Centenarian? We'd Love to Hear From You.

Based on latest figures, the population of centenarians in the UK has doubled from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.

Between 2004 and 2024, the total of male individuals reaching 100 has tripled from 910 to 3,100. During the identical timeframe, the count of female centenarians increased by nearly 100% from 7,400 to 13,600.

We are eager to hear from individuals who have reached 100, their loved ones or friends, about what it has been like to live through the past century’s seismic events and developments.
