A food hub in High Wycombe has created a book of condolences for a 25-year-old woman whose charity work reached hundreds.

Paige Hall died in the early hours of Tuesday, July 23, according to a Facebook post by mum Jeanette Steward, leaving a young son and the many people she helped across South Bucks heartbroken at the loss.

She was best known locally for creating the ‘Acts of Kindness, Chiltern and Surrounding’ Facebook page which connected over 19,000 residents to exchange tips, odd jobs and offer a wide range of services in her home of Chesham and beyond.

Paige also worked closely with charities including the Wycombe Food Hub – something the non-profit, which collects and distributes surplus supermarket food to in-need communities, has recognised by creating a book of condolences, paying tribute to an “amazing” woman who “did so much for the community”.

Sharing news of the book on social media, a spokesperson for the food hub said: “With permission from Paige Hall’s mum we have set up a book of condolences for everyone to come in and write (a) special personal message.

“The book is available in our Bobkins Bazaar by the till, and in 28 days we will be handing it (over) to her family.

“Everyone at Wycombe Food Hub is thinking of her family and friends (and) knows that Paige is at peace with the angels. Paige, thank you for all you did for the community.”

Friends and family came together to raise over £10,000 for Paige’s son Jenson in the immediate wake of her death, with everyone whose lives she touched helping to “light some of the financial burden” from her loved ones’ shoulders and “help them focus on the important things”.

On the fundraising page, friend Tracey Withero described the 25-year-old as a “beautiful, kind and caring young lady” who “gave so much of her own time to helping those in need”.

Reflecting on a memorial service that saw attendees release lanterns with personal messages into the sky, Tracey added: “So many people were (there), thinking, talking and reminiscing about Paige.

“The sky was lit up with so many lanterns and personal messages for her. She was loved by so many.”
