Do You Know a UK Centenarian? We'd Love to Hear From You.
According to recent statistics, the count of individuals reaching 100 in the UK has increased twofold from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
From 2004 and 2024, the number of male centenarians has grown by 200% from 910 to 3,100. During the identical period, the amount of female individuals reaching 100 nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are eager to hear from centenarians, their family or close ones, about what it has been like to bear witness to the past century’s seismic events and shifts.
