Do You Know a British Centenarian? We'd Love to Hear From You.

Based on recent statistics, the count of people aged 100 and above in the UK has grown by 100% from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.

From 2004 and 2024, the figure of male centenarians has tripled from 910 to 3,100. During the same timeframe, the number of female centenarians nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.

We are excited to listen to individuals who have reached 100, their relatives or close ones, about what it has been like to experience the past century’s seismic events and changes.
