About Us
About St Luke’s Innovative Resources:
- publishers of metaphors
- commissioners of transformational art
- manufacturers of therapeutic tools
- designers of conversational prompts.
In our pretentious moments we can describe ourselves in any number of high falutin’ ways, but lest anyone thinks we have ‘tickets on ourselves’ we are really just a bunch of book lovers with an array of different backgrounds cobbled together by St Luke’s Anglicare to create their publishing arm.
Over almost 15 years we have had a lot of fun and learned a little about publishing along the way. We have managed to stay one step outside debtor’s prison and we have been able to accumulate a loyal bunch of graphic artists and other disreputable souls.
More importantly, we have been privileged to have been able to take original ideas from St Luke’s own 25 years of social work practice as well as many other sources and turn them into hands-on materials that have been life-changing for many people.
Innovative Resources commenced without a business plan or a budget. We now have a team numbering over 20. We sell worldwide with the assistance of over 70 retailers. We work with some 15 super-talented freelance graphic artists and we are committed to supporting our local printing industry.
Any profit we make is used to develop further resources or returned to St Luke’s Anglicare for investing in programs to support the lives of children, young people, families and communities.
