Previous work detected transient ultraviolet outflow features for the short-period (P$_{\mathrm{orb}}{\approx }111$ min), low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) UW CrB, suggesting the presence of a disc wind in the system. However, because of the transient nature of the outflow features, and the limited amount of data available, the features were challenging to interpret. To follow up on this work, we present a comprehensive multiwavelength campaign on UW CrB. We observe complex phenomenology and find several features that could be naturally interpreted as being associated with a persistent disc wind. Moreover, we identify a blue-shifted absorption in the H $\beta$ line during one of the epochs, which might be the signature of such an outflow. We present an X-ray to radio campaign of the source, discuss our results in the context of accretion disc wind outflows, present a 'toy model' interpretation of the outflow scattering the X-ray emission into our line of sight, and explore the implications for binary evolution models. If correct, our preferred scenario of a persistent disc wind suggests that mass transfer for LMXBs can be non-conservative down to short orbital periods, and thereby opens an important parameter space for angular momentum loss in compact binaries.
