Are You a British Person Aged 100 or Over? We Want to Learn Your Story.

According to latest statistics, the count of people aged 100 and above in the UK has increased twofold from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.

Between 2004 and 2024, the total of male centenarians has grown by 200% from 910 to 3,100. During the identical timeframe, the amount of female centenarians nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.

We are eager to listen to centenarians, their family or companions, about what it has been like to live through the past century’s seismic events and changes.
