Camilla Tominey #LunchtimeLives with Josh Connolly

This week on Lunchtime Lives with Josh Connolly we welcome Nacoa patron Camilla Tominey. Camilla Tominey is a COA campaigner and associate editor at The Telegraph. As a journalist at the Sunday Express and now The Telegraph, she has put pressure on the government to listen to the demands of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Children of Alcoholics. She has often achieved that by speaking out about her own story. You can see the timeline of her work with Nacoa, used in the video, by clicking here: https://spark.adobe.com/page/jkYVKU4r…
