Are You a British Centenarian? We'd Love to Learn Your Story.

According to latest figures, the count 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 figure of men aged 100 or over has tripled from 910 to 3,100. Over the same years, the amount of female centenarians increased by nearly 100% from 7,400 to 13,600.

We are eager to listen to those aged 100 or over, their family or close ones, about what it has been like to live through the past century’s major happenings and shifts.
