Based on recent figures, the population of people aged 100 and above in the UK has doubled from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
From 2004 and 2024, the figure of male individuals reaching 100 has grown by 200% from 910 to 3,100. During the same timeframe, the amount of women aged 100 or over nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
We are keen to listen to individuals who have reached 100, their loved ones or friends, about what it has been like to live through the past century’s seismic events and shifts.
