Joanna Scott was born a railwayman’s daughter in the north of Cumbria. After leaving school at sixteen, her career took her all the way from Carlisle’s ‘Ritz Cafe’ to HM Treasury and the Magistrate’s bench. Despite being diagnosed with an incurable condition in her fifties, she conquered Lakeland fells, walked bluebell woods and hunted stone circles to the end. Joanna’s family allocated some of her estate to establish the Joanna Scott Foundation in 2014. She remains an inspiration to us all.
