Do You Know a British Centenarian? We Want to Learn Your Story.

Based on recent statistics, the population of individuals reaching 100 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 individuals reaching 100 has tripled from 910 to 3,100. Over the identical timeframe, the number of women aged 100 or over almost doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
