Having been touched by the work of local vet Dikaia Loukia and her practise AgapiVet, the agency decided to launch the auction to help the industry get involved with fundraising efforts.

The company’s head of commercial, Darren Bien, was in Rhodes at the time of the fires, furthering inspiring the agency to raise some funds so Agapivets could continue their work alongside local authorities and rescue charities.

Designer Travel’s Karen Pocock said: "The team has contributed a number of lots, and we are so, so grateful to many of our tour operating partners and friends, who have been exceptionally generous with their contributions."

Items involve a three-night stay in Cyprus, champagne, wine and chocolates. "We couldn’t have made this work without so much support," Pocock added.

"We still have extra lots to add on to the auction page during the month, so the page will be relevant the whole month through, it’s never too late to get involved."
