A POPULAR magazine run by a young entrepreneur is set to change its name.

Xplode Magazine was started by Bolton's Saeed Atcha in 2011 when he was just a teenager but the publication is set for a major switch.

From Friday, September 13, Xplode will see its name changed to Youth Leads.

The magazine was initially created to challenge negative attitudes towards young people and the new name has been chosen by the young volunteers and trustees of the organisation.

Xplode, which also runs youth and volunteering programmes, will not be changing its output although organisers say they will be adding new services to help get young people more involved in leadership opportunities.
