Are You a British Person Aged 100 or Over? We Want to Learn Your Story.
According to latest figures, the number of individuals reaching 100 in the UK has doubled from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
From 2004 and 2024, the total of male individuals reaching 100 has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. During the same timeframe, the amount of women aged 100 or over increased by nearly 100% from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are keen to receive stories from those aged 100 or over, their relatives or close ones, about what it has been like to live through the past century’s transformative changes and shifts.
