A woman in her 50s who died in Swindon is being remembered as a "devoted" mother and "caring" colleague by the charity she worked for.

The Kelly Foundation says it's heartbroken at the death of Sarah Forrester, whose death is being investigated by Wiltshire Police.

Emergency services were called to a property in Baydon Close in the Moredon area of the town on Friday evening (21st November 2025).

A 13-year-old girl who was arrested on suspicion of murder has been released on bail.

A spokesperson for the mental health charity The Kelly Foundation said:

"Everyone at The Kelly Foundation is heartbroken at the sudden loss of our lovely Sarah.

"She was completely committed to the charity and devoted to her two young children.

"Sarah was pivotal in the work that we do here at the Kelly Foundation and her loss is a hugely traumatic event, not just for us and her colleagues but more especially for her children and family.

"Sarah was an incredible person, kind, thoughtful, considerate, caring and funny and she embodied everything that we hope our charity is and can be.

"She enjoyed her role with us and we all loved working with her, she will be truly, truly missed."

In an update issued earlier today, a Wiltshire Police spokesperson said:

"A 13-year-old girl arrested in connection with the death of a woman in Baydon Close, Moredon, has been bailed while enquiries continue.

"An increased police presence remains in the area today while an investigation continues into the woman’s death.

"There is no wider risk to the public and we are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident.

"As this is a live investigation, please refrain from speculating online as this could prejudice the ongoing case.

"We'd encourage anyone with concerns to speak with their local Neighbourhood Policing Team, either by emailing or approaching our officers in person."
