Have you witnessed an entire century of British history unfold? The Guardian is launching an exciting new project to connect with the UK's centenarian community and we need your help.
Share a Century of Extraordinary Experiences
We're searching for people aged 100 or older across the United Kingdom who would be willing to share their remarkable life journeys. From witnessing technological revolutions to living through decades of social transformation, centenarians possess a unique perspective that deserves to be heard.
Why Your Story Matters
Every centenarian carries within them a living history of our nation. Your memories and insights provide invaluable context to how Britain has evolved over the past hundred years. Whether you experienced:
- The transition from horse-drawn carriages to space exploration
- Multiple technological revolutions that reshaped daily life
- Profound social changes in how we live and work
- Historical events that transformed our society
Your perspective offers wisdom that can enlighten generations to come.
How to Get Involved
If you are a UK centenarian, or if you know someone who has reached this incredible milestone, we encourage you to reach out. Our team is particularly interested in hearing about:
- The most significant changes you've witnessed throughout your lifetime
- Your personal secrets to longevity and wellbeing
- Memorable moments that defined different decades of your life
- Your reflections on what truly matters after a century of living
This is more than just sharing stories - it's about preserving living history and celebrating the resilience of human spirit.
A Nation's Living History
By participating, you'll contribute to a meaningful project that documents the human experience across generations. Your insights could help younger generations understand how far we've come and what we might learn from the past.
Don't let your century of experiences go unrecorded. Your story is a precious piece of Britain's tapestry, and we believe it deserves to be shared and celebrated.
