Notes
a few + countable plural noun, a little + uncountable noun = positive - a small number/amount but enough while few and little on their own are negative.
There was a little money left, so we were able to buy some wine.

We had little money left and were really starting to worry.
The Union Rep was fed up because few people attended the meeting.
A number of + plural noun emphasises how many so is followed by a plural verb.
The number of + plural noun emphasises a single figure/amount/statistic so is followed by a singular verb.
