Do You Know a British Person Aged 100 or Over? We'd Love to Hear From You.
According to latest figures, the number 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 figure of male individuals reaching 100 has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. During the same years, the count of female centenarians almost doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are excited to listen to individuals who have reached 100, their relatives or friends, about what it has been like to experience the past century’s seismic events and shifts.
